[FEATURE] Allow Proton-GE to be installed for Lutris

[michaelBelsanti]

At the moment, ProtonPlus doesn't have any Proton versions listed in the Lutris section. I assume this is because for a while Lutris recommended against using Proton in favor of Wine. Now that they support using umu-launcher to run games using Proton, I think this should be changed.

You can currently just use any Proton versions you install to Steam to work around this, but I don't believe this would work with Flatpaks.

I am currently doing my basic military training so I will not be available for a while, but once I can I will do it for sure.

proton-sarek would be another one to add to the list to install as there seems to be a decent amount of users who want to use lutris but have older hardware and proton-sarek helps with that

[Vysp3r]

@polluxau I am soon done with my basic military training. I will add both when I am done with it. Sorry for the delay.

[michaelBelsanti]

No need to apologize! I was looking into changing this myself, but I noticed you were working on a major refactor. Would you rather me not work on a PR for now?

[Vysp3r]

@michaelBelsanti If you create a PR I may have time to merge it and push an update next weekend. I can simply add your modification manually to the refactor branch. It's close to being done, but not yet.

[michaelBelsanti]

Ok, I messed with it for a bit but I'll have to get a little more familiar with Vala to clean it up.

[Vysp3r]

I was able to add proton support for lutris in the refactor branch without any problems.

Which proton runners would you like to see there?
Do you want all of the Steam ones or just a select few.

[michaelBelsanti]

I think Proton-GE is the most important one to add. Some of the other options like Proton-Tkg and Proton-Sarek might be good too. As of the last time I tested, NorthstarProton doesn't work as expected on Lutris.

[Vysp3r]

Alright, I'll start with those and if someone asks for more I'll just add them.

I will have a really busy two weeks though, but after that I will have a lot of free time to work more on ProtonPlus and do other things.

Would you rather Proton being under Wine or like that it's fine?

[Vysp3r]

Also do you think I should remove Wine-GE from the Lutris options since it's no longer being maintained?

I would say yes but it's up to you and others

IMO having its own section makes sense, since lutris currently handles wine and proton a little differently.

Probably fine to do so now that Lutris officially supports Proton GE.
