# **Readme Language**

**English** - [Русский](README-RU.md)

## Attention

The **official website of the project** since September 2022 is: 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 mangoHud (output useful information over the game window: FPS, frametime, CPU, GPU, etc.),
  vkBasalt (improvement of graphics in games, great alongside FSR or DLSS) versions,
  and 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.

**PLEASE DON'T REPORT BUGS ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS AT WINEHQ OR VALVE SOFTWARE!**

exit
```


* **Ubuntu 24.04**, **Debian 12**, **Linux Mint 21.x**, and **Deepin**:
  [portproton_1.7-3_amd64.deb](https://github.com/Castro-Fidel/PortProton_dpkg/releases/download/portproton_1.7-3_amd64/portproton_1.7-3_amd64.deb)

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

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

<details><summary><b>Universal (manual) installation method (obsolete variant)</b></summary>

**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 (32-bit games don't 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
```

* **RED OS**

```

* **Solus 4.x**

```sh
