## Attention
The **official website of the project** since September 2022: https://linux-gaming.ru.  **Any other site is fake!**

## Features

- Based on the version of WINE from Valve (Proton) and its modifications (Proton GE).
Includes a set of scripts combined with wine-proton itself, a Steam Runtime Sniper container with the addition of ported versions of MANGOHUD (output useful information over the game window: FPS, FrameTime, CPU, GPU, etc) and vkBasalt (improvement of graphics in games, very good in in conjunction with FSR, DLSS) + many already configured optimizations for maximum performance.

- Implemented one-click auto-installation (in the AUTOINSTALL tab ) of popular launchers such as: WGC, Epic Games, Battle.net, Origin, EVE Online, RockStar, Ubisoft connect , League of Legends and many others.

- For fans of console games, there are many console emulators to choose from (in the EMULATORS tab ): PPSSPP, Citra, Cemu, ePSXe, MAME and many others.

* **Alt Linux** (package in the official repository) is installed with the command:

`apt-get`:
```sh
su -

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

apt-get install portproton i586-{libvulkan1,libd3d,libGL,libgio,libnm,libnsl1,libnss,glibc-nss,glibc-pthread,libunwind,xorg-dri-swrast}

exit
```

exit
```

* **ROSA Linux** (package in the official repository) is installed with the command:

```sh
sudo urpmi portproton
```

* **Ubuntu 24.04**, **Debian 12**, **Linux Mint 21.x** **Deepin** :
[portproton_1.4-1_amd64.deb](https://github.com/Castro-Fidel/PortProton_dpkg/releases/download/portproton_1.4-1_amd64/portproton_1.4-1_amd64.deb)

* **Arch Linux** and derivatives (Manjaro, Garuda, etc.) :
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/portproton)

sudo dnf install portproton
```


## Universal (manual) installation

**ATTENTION** : with the universal method of installing PortProton, dependencies must be installed manually!

```sh
wget -c "https://github.com/Castro-Fidel/PortProton_ALT/raw/main/portproton" && sh portproton
```

## Dependencies

* **NVIDIA graphics card users**

If you have a video card from NVIDIA and a proprietary driver is installed, then you need to check if lib32-nvidia-utils is installed (no 32-bit game will work without it)

* **Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Pop!_OS**

```sh
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt install curl file libc6 libnss3 policykit-1 xz-utils bubblewrap curl icoutils tar libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386  zstd cabextract xdg-utils openssl libgl libgl1:i386
```

* **Arch Linux / Manjaro**

First check if the **multilib** repository is enabled

```sh
/etc/pacman.conf
===================================
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
====================================
```

```sh
sudo pacman -Syu bash bubblewrap zstd cabextract tar openssl desktop-file-utils curl dbus freetype2 gdk-pixbuf2 ttf-font gzip nss xorg-xrandr vulkan-driver vulkan-icd-loader lsof lib32-freetype2 lib32-libgl lib32-gcc-libs lib32-libx11 lib32-libxss lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-libgpg-error lib32-nss lib32-vulkan-driver lib32-vulkan-icd-loader lib32-openssl
```

If you have a video card from **NVIDIA** , be sure to check if the **lib32-nvidia-utils** package is installed

```sh
sudo pacman -Syu lib32-nvidia-utils
```

* **openSUSE**

```sh
sudo zypper install curl bubblewrap zstd cabextract tar steam
```

* **Fedora**

```sh
sudo dnf update

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

sudo dnf install curl bubblewrap zstd cabextract tar openssl mesa-dri-drivers.i686 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers.i686 vulkan-loader vulkan-loader.i686 nss.i686 alsa-lib.i686 mesa-libGL.i686 mesa-libEGL.i686 wmctrl ImageMagick
```

* **Alt Linux**

```sh
su -

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

apt-get install bubblewrap cabextract  zstd gawk tar xz pciutils coreutils file curl icoutils wmctrl xdg-utils desktop-file-utils libvulkan1 vulkan-tools libd3d libGL fontconfig xrdb libcurl libgio libnm libnsl1 libnss glibc-nss glibc-pthread i586-{libvulkan1,libd3d,libGL,libgio,libnm,libnsl1,libnss,glibc-nss,glibc-pthread,libunwind,xorg-dri-swrast}

exit
```

* **ROSA DESKTOP FRESH R12**

```sh
sudo dnf update

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

sudo dnf install sysvinit-tools curl libcurl4 bubblewrap zstd cabextract tar libvulkan1 lib64vulkan1 vulkan.x86_64 vulkan.i686 vkd3d.x86_64 vkd3d.i686 coreutils file libc6 libnss3 xz bubblewrap xdg-utils openssl libgl1 lib64freetype2 libfreetype2 lib64txc-dxtn libtxc-dxtn lib64opencl1 libopencl1 libdrm2 libdrm2.i686 mesa.i686
