6. Tips and tricks

6.1 Native Linux repacks/releases

There's a dedicated post for new native Linux releases.

6.1.1 Johncena141

The group johncena141 offers games including a specific version of Wine and other tweaks to run on Linux out-of-the-box. You can find them on 1337x. (Be aware that the website is changing quite frequently, you'll find the correct website in the latest releases on 1337x.)

Here's a quick guide on how to install and play johncens141's releases.

There's also a GUI to download, manage and play Johncena141's repacks.

There are also some Linux builds for games on RuTracker (thanks u/iamnotstanley).

6.1.2 Linux RuleZ

There are native repacks/releases by Linux RuleZ to be found on Zamuda and Torrminatorr (related post).

6.2 Vortex Mod Manager

It is possible to use the Vortex Mod Manager on Linux through a Lutris install script as explained in this video. Another possible solution is to use a virtual machine according to this post.

It's also possible to install it using Steam Tinker Launch.

6.3 Use Proton with Lutris

Some games will only run using Proton, which is obviously not possible when you try to play a cracked game via Lutris. Luckily, it's fairly easy to use Proton with Lutris, by either using Steam or getting it from Github directly.

  1. Get Proton, either using Steam or by downloading it from Github. Some distros offer Proton in their repositories, for example it's available on Arch Linux in the AUR.
  2. Locate the installation directory of Proton. If you installed it through Steam it's one of the following. ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton If you have downloaded Proton manually, navigate to the directory where you have saved it or where you installed it without Steam.
  3. Inside the directory you'll find a folder called dist (or files) it should contain the subfolders bin, lib, lib32, share, which contains the files we need for Lutris. Check the following directory, where the runners of Lutris are located: ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/
  4. Create a folder in that directory with the name of the respective Proton version, e. g. Proton-5.13 or Proton-Experimental. If you have simply downloaded Proton, simply copy the respective files into that directory and skip the next step.
  5. Now we create a softlink from the folder we just created, that's pointing to the dist (or files) folder. ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton/dist/* ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/Proton/ or ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton/files/* ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/Proton/
  6. Now there should be the content of the dist folder inside the Proton folder, you've just created. Start Lutris (or restart it, if it's open) and select a game, go to Configure -> Runner options -> Wine version and select Proton.
  7. Save everything and start the game!

The popular Proton build by Glorious Eggroll does not support to be used with Lutris and could potentially break your things. If you want to use Proton outside of Steam, Glorious Eggroll provides a Wine build for the use with Lutris etc.
