About ProtonUp-Qt
ProtonUp-Qt is a graphical tool for Linux that installs and manages compatibility tools for game launchers. It downloads GE-Proton and Luxtorpeda for Steam and Wine-GE for Lutris, and places them where each launcher expects them.
It saves finding release pages and unpacking archives by hand each time a new version comes out. The app is based on AUNaseef's ProtonUp.
