I’ll wait for Proton++ or Proton#
What about JProton or Proton on Rails?
Someone is already preparing an angry comment on how it should be written in Rust instead.
Probably the person who down voted me
I don’t like the interface tbh. I much rather use ProtonUp-QT for this purpose.
At least in my experience proton plus is restricted in what you can and can’t do.
Agreed, it feels a lot like bottles and I am not really a fan of it’s interface either personally.
I haven’t checked, but can protonup QT manage the vk3d and dxvk versions too?
Not sure. I rarely use it as is. I haven’t done anything in depth. I have only pulled it up on rare occasions I need specific versions.
Like 98% of my library is just install and play with default steam hotfix version.
I’m so lost here…
Is it not already DEAD simple?
Not super so if you wanna mess around with GE-Proton and stuff. Personally I prefer ProtonUp-Qt though. It’s a terrible name, but way less flashy, which it super doesn’t need to be.
I’ve used both and found ProtonPlus to be better for my needs. It has way more proton and wine versions available. They also added the feature for steam games to select their proton version from the client as well.
You can select the proton version for steam games in ProtonUp-Qt as well :)

Yea, for sure you can, but you have to go into each games settings one-by-one. In ProtonUp-Qt (seriously, terrible name lol) it’s a list with a dropdown box next to each, the steam deck compatibility rating, and the ProtonDB rating that you can click to go straight to the page for it.
You can change the global proton setting in steam.
Yes, and? I only switch to GE-Proton on games that need it, so I leave that setting on vanilla Proton (ie unset).
TBH, I just use a GTK4 programme whenever I have the choice, so for me Proton+ was natural
This is akin to ProtonUp, with more compat forks available to download within the GUI.
Based on the description elsewhere in the comments, they don’t sound very similar. ProtonPlus is just a download tool that lets you see and download or delete updates for all the various versions of Proton, so you don’t have to visit a bunch of different Githubs. It doesn’t let you see or change which version each game is using, which it sounds like ProtonUp does.
I’m not sure how ProtonUp works with native games, installed outside of Steam or Heroic for instance, but it certainly doesn’t allow for per-game Proton version changes with Steam games.
EDIT: I was wrong, there’s a separate list I wasn’t aware of where you can change per-game versions. You can do the same thing in ProtonPlus FWIW.Where do you find that screen in ProtonPlus? I’ve never seen it. I wonder if I’m on an old version.
I just install ProtonGE from AUR and then it is a magic option in Steam. Idk why we need whole programs for this

It’s not that easy for everyone, Debian users you have to do it manually or through a third party application like ProtonUp-Qt.
Initially thought this was about the Proton Foundation product before I realised which community I was in
Happy Cake Day OP
Great soft
