We've got proton support through the umu launcher, although we've been talking about adding configuration options to it for a while - is that what you mean?

Wasn't aware of umu but the config thing sounds great.

Yeah we really should include a message about it if it's not detected lmao

We still need more work on this feature though. You can't manually assign a Proton version, which means users can't use patched versions like GE.

@DecDuck for this one, would it be better then to have the actual proton command be configurable? Would also solve some issues regarding umu potentially being in weird places that the existing patch doesn't find. That way you could set it to run with any compatibility executable

Not a good idea, we want to be using specific umu-run and only umu-run. It really does handle everything for us, and we really don't want to tip our toes into handling the mess that is Linux compatible tools.

Not as in us managing it, but just making it so that you can specify a command to run specific platform styles (Windows -> Linux, or even Linux -> Linux if you want) and then saying that it's the user's problem from there

I would just like the option to select the version of proton I would like to use, heroic games launcher does that, but they don't offer any types of self hosted cloud downloads. So having both options would be really nice.

I also want this because certain games run better on different versions of proton, I already encountered a game that runs fine on the heroic launcher with proton-ge, but has issues with menus not loading when launched from the drop-app
