      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
