Here is the best explanation of Proton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software) Proton GE runs in its own directory like wine and does not need the steam front end at all. They take Proton and add addition bug fixes and patches. Thanks to AlexPereira for finding this! To get it working: 1) Download the tar file from: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/5.9-GE-7-ST 2) Extract to the desired directory. For me, I extracted to a Proton-5.9-GE-7-ST directory in my home 3) updated the .profile to export PATH="/home/todd/Proton-5.9-GE-7-ST/dist/bin:$PATH" 4) Create a shortcut as usual: Proton-5.9-GE-7-ST/dist/bin/wine64 /home/todd/.wine/drive_c/SierraChart/SierraChart_64.exe (I have two SCs running on the same computer so there is another shortcut referencing a second SC install. For all my testing, I run 2 SCs too.) 5) Log out and log back in to use the new .profile 6) Double click to start as usual If I want to test wine 5.18 development... I comment out the proton path and update the .profile export PATH="/opt/wine-devel/bin:$PATH". Logout and log back in and I'm back to whichever environment I want to test.
