Proton can only run Steam games, right? So Wine has its place for all other games.
- 5e92cb50239222b 4y agoYou can add any other executable into Steam and run it on proton that way. I used it for non-game applications with great success. Proton can also be installed and used without Steam, although the process was so involved last time I checked it was easier to use Steam as a launcher even if you have no need for it otherwise.
- hot_gril 4y agoOh, that's good to hear.
- freedomben 4y agoYeah building proton yourself is a tad involved. Very doable, but typically a lot easier to just "add" the executable to steam as a non-steam game.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoProton can be used to run non-Steam games. The standard way to do it is to add the game to Steam via "Games | Add a non-Steam Game to my Library" and then enable Proton after it is added. But Proton can also be run outside of Steam.
