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)

@simple could you explain why this is worth getting excited about, to a guy who plays windows games on Bottles and has no idea what a proton fix is?

Dude is making fucking $1,080/month off a free software project. I hope he’s satisified with the work he is doing for everyone in the community. Cheers for even better days to come!

That sounds absolutely incredible if it’s pulled off. It would certainly make gaming on Linux even more accessible to people not comfortable with Linux.
