ProtonUp-Qt
Install and manage GE-Proton, Luxtorpeda & more for Steam and Wine-GE & more for Lutris with this graphical user interface.
(Steam Deck owners skip to next heading and this step is not needed if you are running Lutris from Flatpak) As stated on the download page for Lutris, for a smoother experience install a recent version of Wine and its dependencies, just follow this guide.
proton is a compatibility layer based on Wine that is built by Valve which includes patches for different Steam games
lutris and lutris-fshark (fshark might be depreciated after Lutris Wine 7.2-2) build by Lutris team and contains patches and improvement from Proton
proton-ge is a full fork of proton build by GloriousEggroll that contains the most recent bleeding-edge Proton and other components like dxvk, vkd3d etc and is very popular in the community and
wine-ge also a fork of most recent bleeding-edge Proton that does not contain components like dxvk, vkd3d and more which is provided by Lutris and is meant to be used for non-steam games outside Steam like Lutris.
Using ProtonUp-Qt (Recommended): Download ProtonUp-Qt either using the AppImage or from Flathub or if you are using Arch then it is also available in the AUR. Download Instructions Open ProtonUp-Qt, if you are using the AppImage then just double clicking on the downloaded file will open ProtonUp-Qt (Make sure the file is executable, Right click on the file and click on "Properties" the check for and option for something like "Mark as executable" or similar, different file manager have different ways to do this so it is difficult for me to tell you exactly) After opening ProtonUp-Qt a new window will appear and now you can choose the program you want to install Wine on like Steam, Lutris or Bottles. For this guide we click on the drop down menu and select "Lutris". Then click on "Add version" button, choose a version and click "Install" and now you should have your desired Wine version installed. NOTE: Make sure you install the non-lol version, the version that ends with -LoL is meant for League of Legends, so it will not work for other games. Then restart Lutris if you had it open.
