    I don’t like the interface tbh. I much rather use ProtonUp-QT for this purpose.

    At least in my experience proton plus is restricted in what you can and can’t do.

      Yes, and? I only switch to GE-Proton on games that need it, so I leave that setting on vanilla Proton (ie unset).

          You said, you can select the options outside of steam smilieface.

          So I mentioned you can just use steam to select it.

          You replied, but then you have to change it for each game.

          To which I said, you can also change it globally.

          And then you said you want to change it individually.

          So i have no idea what this conversations point is lol

            That first message wasn't in reply to you though, and wasn't saying you couldn't in Steam:

            I've used both and found ProtonPlus to be better for my needs. It has way more proton and wine versions available. They also added the feature for steam games to select their proton version from the client as well.

            I was merely letting them know that ProtonUp-Qt can also do that now, as well as ProtonPlus?

                          They're not though.

                          In Steam, you have to open the settings for each game individually to set it.

                          In ProtonUp-Qt, you get a list of all of the games installed with their proton DB rating in one column and a drop down to select the compatibility layer in another. So you can easily set several games almost at once, without having to set it globally.

                              Not sure. I rarely use it as is. I haven’t done anything in depth. I have only pulled it up on rare occasions I need specific versions.

                              Like 98% of my library is just install and play with default steam hotfix version.

                                Agreed, it feels a lot like Bottles and I am not really a fan of it's interface either personally.

                                    Not super so if you wanna mess around with GE-Proton and stuff. Personally I prefer ProtonUp-Qt though. It's a terrible name, but way less flashy, which it super doesn't need to be.

                                    TBH, I just use a GTK4 programme whenever I have the choice, so for me Proton+ was natural

                                      This is akin to ProtonUp, with more compat forks available to download within the GUI.

                                      Based on the description elsewhere in the comments, they don't sound very similar. ProtonPlus is just a download tool that lets you see and download or delete updates for all the various versions of Proton, so you don't have to visit a bunch of different Githubs. It doesn't let you see or change which version each game is using, which it sounds like ProtonUp does.

                                        I'm not sure how ProtonUp works with native games, installed outside of Steam or Heroic for instance, but it certainly doesn't allow for per-game Proton version changes with Steam games.
                                        EDIT: I was wrong, there's a separate list I wasn't aware of where you can change per-game versions. You can do the same thing in ProtonPlus FWIW.
