      It’s middleware for game launchers like Lutris, but specifically for Wine games. It uses GloriousEggroll’s custom Proton builds instead of stand-alone Wine/DXVK/etc.

      Note that GloriousEggroll more or less discontinued his custom Wine builds, and has been encouraging people to use his Proton builds via this tool instead. It might make things easier or harder, depending on your needs and workflow. I expect it will be easier for casual Linux users when combined with a GUI.

        More specifically this launcher is backed by Lutris, Heroic and I think Bottles as well. So that configurations can be shared between all launchers.

        I guess the ultimate price would be if Valve were to join them.
