    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.

        Yea, for sure you can, but you have to go into each games settings one-by-one. In ProtonUp-Qt (seriously, terrible name lol) it's a list with a dropdown box next to each, the steam deck compatibility rating, and the ProtonDB rating that you can click to go straight to the page for it.

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

                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.

                      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.
