Use bottles. It works great for me.
Install bottles via flatpak. Run it and create a new bottle with the gaming preset. Got to the settings - > runners and download the latest “proton-ge” runner. Then just add the exe to the bottle and add it to your library. Launch to play.
It really helps smooth the curve. Some installers fail to open so I use the system default to install it and then copy them over to my games directory.
PS: if you see no exe files being listed when you try to add an exe, clear the file filter in the bottom to all files. Bottles has this weird bug on some DEs
Did you install cargo using rustup? Or did you use the system package manager. Using rustup is the preferred method.
PS I don’t have my dev machine with me a this moment. But as I can see many people have so many installation issues, I will try to create a flatpak for the application. I will post soon
I am building this mainly for my personal use. Plus most of dedicated software tries to pander to a large audience incuring bloat. Hence I am not adding networking features now. But I really love my software and if I set up over the network media servers I will update this to that. It’s ultimately my code and as you can see by the lack of other people contributing and the software not being that massively popular I don’t think anybody will mind.
