ProtonUp-Qt v2.6.1 adds support for the Heroic Launcher Flatpak

ProtonUp-Qt gives you an incredibly easy way to install compatibility layers on Linux like GE-Proton (formerly Proton GE), Lutris-Wine, Luxtorpeda and more.

The developer just recently put up version 2.6.1, which as a bit of a highlight should now work nicely with the Flatpak version of the Heroic Games Launcher (for the Epic Games Store). This is especially good for the Steam Deck, where I imagine most people will be using the Flatpak, since it's easy to install and update via the Discover software centre.

Apart from that it also adds a "tool description to install dialog" just to give a bit more info on what you're doing.

See more on the website and GitHub. If you need help, we have a whole guide on it.

That's a very nifty app that I'm sure I first heard about here.

Exactly, first heard here

and ... tried within the next minutes and ... it's clearly super handy

Beside it allows to install/remove GE releases, it also shows what game is using what GE release and even allow to switch between installed versions directly within ProtonUp-Qt. When you have a huge colleciton of games, it's clearly more than handy

A great application, the developer has done a fantastic job. It has a great UX focus on simplicity that I love.

I love how this app has a game list showing which games are using what proton versions, it drives me nuts when I can't uninstall an old version of Proton because I explicitly set a particular version for a (mystery!) game in the past.
