ProtonPlus is a useful tool for managing compatibility layers like Valve's Proton, GE-Proton and more on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck.

While many will likely know of the popular ProtonUp-Qt app that I've covered here a lot on GamingOnLinux, ProtonPlus has been steadily building up a real nice list of features and it might even be time to switch over. In fact, I actually vastly prefer the UI design in ProtonPlus - it's a lot cleaner and super simple to use it. Not that ProtonUp-Qt was hard, but options are great.

The app supports managing Proton for Steam, Lutris, Heroic Games Launcher and Bottles. With support for various different community versions of Proton along with other tools like Luxtorpeda, Boxtron and Steam Tinker Launch.

With a recent update to the app in June, it now has a page where you can view all your Steam games and individually change the Proton version used for them.

On this page there's various sorting options, you can also adjust launch options, and there's a button to go right to ProtonDB too.

Check it out on the GitHub page.

Confused on all the different versions of Proton? We have a guide here on GamingOnLinux to help clear that up.

Looks great but as KDE user, gnome adwaita UI just mismatches so much and doesn't layout in ways that make sense to me. I don't expect the devs to drop everything and add KDE/Qt into the app as that's completely unreasonable. For now, I'll continue using protonup on my deck and desktop until something like protonplus comes around that fits my desktop environment.

I don't remember hearing about this one before. Always just used ProtonUp-Qt like most, and it does work perfectly fine, but this looks a little better when using Gnome (you know, for the 20 seconds a month it gets used). Glad there's options out there.

ProtonUp-Qt also has this feature.

ProtonUp-Qt has this feature also.

Sure, options are great, but I'll stick with ProtonUp-Qt as an avid Qt fan and who has contributed a couple features to ProtonUp-Qt in the past. emoji
