# Glorious Proton Manager
A tool that allows Linux users to delete & install old & new [Proton-GE](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom) versions as they come out. Making a GUI for it felt needed; the number of Linux gamers is growing thanks to Valve, Wine & other open source projects.
## Installation
### Dependencies
The only dependency is **tkinter**. To install it, run:
#### Arch/Manjaro
```
sudo pacman -S tk
```
#### Fedora
```
sudo dnf install python3-tkinter
```
#### openSUSE Leap
```
sudo zypper in python3-tk
```
#### Ubuntu
```
sudo apt install python3-tk
```
### With pip
```
pip3 install GloriousProtonManager
```
## Usage
**GloriousProtonManager** will be added to **~/.local/bin/** after installation. To run it, type:
```bash
~/.local/bin/GloriousProtonManager
```
## Features
It is split into 3 columns: **Old versions**, **Prerequisites & updates** & **Removals**.
### Old versions
Split into 3 steps, which should be followed in order:
1. List the versions.
2. Pick one from the list by typing its version.
3. Click on the Install button.
### Prerequisites & updates
Prerequisites sees whether the default directory **(~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d)** where Proton-GE versions should be installed exists. Creates it if it does not.
Updates sees whether the latest Proton-GE version is installed on your system. Shows a message saying so if it is. Installs it if it is not.
I decided to show only the last 15 versions; older versions felt pointless. It will show a popup warning message if the field is left empty or an invalid value is given.
### Removals
Sees which versions are installed. Allows you to delete them once the version value is given as input. Works the same way as the other menu. Also shows a popup warning message if the field is left empty or an invalid value is given.
## Known bugs
- Making the GUI look identical across platforms & distros is hard with PySimpleGUI. It will look fine on Fedora & Manjaro, but may look a bit off on distros like Ubuntu or openSUSE.
- The **Exit** button has to be pressed twice when closing GPM.
