  • proton-ge-custom

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  • If you are going to look at how well games run on Proton, I suggest you take a look at Glorious Eggroll's fork. It includes the latest wine-staging patches as well as specific fixes for some popular games. It might not always make a difference for other games, but if you have a hard time running one, it's worth a shot. It's also available in the AUR, if you have already grasped how it works.

  • lutris

    Lutris desktop client

  • I used to use Lutris a lot when I started out with Linux, but then Proton came along and suddenly I could just use Steam out of the box! But I still happen to use it for some specific games like Warframe who need a few workarounds to make it's launcher work properly. (Although I have heard the Lutris install script might be unnecessary nowadays, I haven't tried it.) And obviously, it's still a very good tool to make non-Steam games work.

    XanMod: Linux kernel source code tree (by xanmod)

  • Sure, I could build my own kernel from source with the same patches and config, but why reinvent the wheel? You can see for yourself the changes they've made over here: https://xanmod.org/
