  • ProtonUp-Qt

    Install and manage GE-Proton, Luxtorpeda & more for Steam and Wine-GE & more for Lutris with this graphical user interface.

  • There is a tool named "protonUp-Qt", which you can use to manage your GE versions and makes it more streamlined to install and uninstall them. Its available at https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/, and if you have access to the AUR, you can get it from there. Highly recommend this tool.

  • proton-ge-custom

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  • There is a custom fork of proton called "proton-GE", which you can find here: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom. This version contains some tweaks and fixes that the latest or experimental version of proton doesn't have, and could make a game playable.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sc-controller

    User-mode driver and GTK3 based GUI for Steam Controller

  • I would add sc-controller to your gaming tool kit

  • gamemode

    Optimise Linux system performance on demand

  • I recommend Feral Gamemode (https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode) for any Linux gamer. If the distro you use is based on Ubuntu (Mint, Ubuntu, etc), it is already installed. You have to enter the "gamemoderun %command%" to the launch arguments in Steam, Lutris, Heroic Game Launcher. Feral Gamemode optimizes the process accordingly. Very good.

  • gali

    Discontinued An experimental game launcher for linux

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
