GloriousEggroll announces new project to unify Proton runtimes
(files.catbox.moe)
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/ULWGL
From the github:
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OTHER LAUNCHERS (lutris/bottles/heroic/legendary,etc):
- everyone can use + contribute to the same protonfixes, no more managing individual install scripts per launcher
- everyone can run their games through proton just like a native steam game
- no steam or steam binaries required
- a unified online database of game fixes (protonfixes)
Meanwhile PortProton which did similar thing long time ago :)
..so did Lutris, Bottles, ZentryWine and like 8 others. That's why we created yet a new program to unify them all!
(To be fair, I like the fact we have choices, and hope this project takes off, but yea..)
Sounds like this would be easier to setup and use than Lutris though - dunno about everyone else but I'm always so very confused trying to get non-steam games running on linux, with all the custom paths, simulated folder structures and prefixes while steam apparently does it on its own out of the box.
