ProtonPlus is a useful tool for managing compatibility layers like Valve's Proton, GE-Proton and more on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck.

    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.

      TBH, I just use a GTK4 programme whenever I have the choice, so for me Proton+ was natural

      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 :)

          You can select the proton version for steam games in steam.

            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).

                    I mean, you’re the one that said something super obvious to start with?
