Hey all,

I have been searching online for this question, but was not able to get a solid answer. Is there a way/playbook for installing proton (regular and GE), setting prefixes, installing the GOG game, all over CLI?

The closest thing I found to this was maybe https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher, which I saw mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gaming#Game_launchers.

This question is more of me trying to learn more about game configuration on Linux over command-line rather than just relying on Steam, Lutris, Heroic, to do all the hard work for me. Any suggestions for this would be highly appreciated.

Edit: I would like to do this without https://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/, if possible.

    There’s also umu. I have this in start.sh:

    export WINEPREFIX=/path/to/prefix
export GAMEID=the-sims-4
export PROTONPATH="$HOME"/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-34
umu-run "game.exe"
