So I've been playing a lot of games in Proton outside of steam and wrote my own script to make launching them easier. It does the bare minimum of launching both the Steam Linux Runtime and ProtonGE, but it does so in one easily invokable command. Makes it very uncomplicated to make desktop shortcuts for. All games use the same proton prefix (which resides in ~/.launch_proton) One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to pass commandline arguments to the windows app, but maybe in the future haha. https://github.com/MerelyMezz/launch_proton #linux #linuxgaming

    @mezz@mstdn.games Why not just add the executable to steam? Then you have everything correctly wired, including support for command line arguments
