Protontricks is a useful tool for Linux gaming, but it’s a bit on the slow and complicated side that Prefixer aims to solve.

If you’ve never used Protontricks directly - it’s a wrapper tool that enables you to run Winetricks commands for games running with Proton / GE-Proton. This is useful for launching external executables, adding needed runtime libraries and so on that sometimes games need to actually run properly (or for major standalone mods).

    I am very sad it’s using JSON instead of TOML

    EDIT: and even sadder if it’s just Steam Proton without regular WINE prefixes or umu’s protons

    This is very good, winetricks has been a great tool for Linux gaming but its a very slow 20000 line shell script, it definitely needs a replacement imo.

    Hopefully this works well enough that Valve and Umu consider switching to it for applying Protonfixes.
