What about the umu-launcher supported by GE?
Faugus Launcher is a frontend for the umu-launcher
it does not have the same performance and your fps in games will show it as well as graphics
umu, if I'm not mistaken, should be adopted in the future by all major gaming software like Lutris
umu has great potential but is not polished enough for an end user like portproton is at this point in time
would be like comparing Nvidia with Intel
What is PortProton doing that could increase performance? At the end of the day, won't this tool just set up a wineprefix for your game and then launch it using wine/proton, just like other tools of this nature?
does the same thing the dwarf compressed .sh game starters do
they do what you said but with very specific instructions, settings, and tweaks you would otherwise have to manually configure
mpv without a frontend vs using celluloid as a frontend for mpv for example
