Wasn't the Glorious Eggroll guy supposed to stop developing GE Proton in favor of a different, better way of doing it? I forget the specifics but I remember seeing that posted several months ago.

EDIT: found it, it's ULGWL, since renamed to "umu". Anybody know if that's still happening? I was under the impression that the guy was going to eventually drop Proton GE completely for umu. But maybe I misunderstood.

Proton-GE is a custom distribution of Proton with its own patches applied.

umu is a script/launcher that makes it easier running Proton without Steam.

So these projects work together, not against each other.

Wine GE was discontinued, umu's purpose is to run Proton GE.

Ah I see, that's probably what confused me.

yea and no. Proton GE will continue umu was to be able to run proton outsidr of steam so wine ge wouldn't have to be devoloped further. UMU is out and integrated to lutris for example which means you can run proton and proton ge on lutris
