asdf-protonge

Unofficial asdf plugin for GloriousEggroll custom Proton distribution.

Installation

Install asdf-vm and add this repo as a plugin:

asdf plugin-add protonge https://github.com/augustobmoura/asdf-protonge.git

Configuration

Configuration of the plugin is done by environment variables, you can set them by default in the rc file of your shell of preference (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile, etc.).

Variable	Description
ASDF_PROTONGE_STEAM_COMPAT_DIR	directory in which the custom protons will be installed. Defaults to ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d
GITHUB_API_TOKEN	GH token used for downloading the tarballs. This is useful because Github tends to rate limit API calls

How it works

We are basically doing the instructions for manual installation: we download the version from GitHub, validate the checksum, and extract it on ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d by default, you can customize the extraction location by setting the ASDF_PROTONGE_STEAM_COMPAT_DIR environment variable (if you are using flatpak's steam for example, you can set it to ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/ on your regular rc file).

We manage installed versions by symlinking the extracted directory to $ASDF_DIR/installs/protonge/$version, that way we can prevent double installations and effectively run:

asdf uninstall protonge $version.

If you already have custom installations in your ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d directory you can manage with asdf-protonge by running the special command:

asdf protonge manage $version

To add all local versions to asdf you can run the script:

ls ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d | xargs asdf protonge manage
