This talk runs through UMU – an idea spawned in 2023 to make Linux gaming better. UMU’s goal is to have a tool that runs cross-platform, as well as a unified place for known game fixes to be used and shared.
In this talk, Thomas Crider (Software Maintenance Engineer for Red Hat and creator of Proton-GE) runs through how UMU works, including:
– UMU-Launcher – a CLI tool that utilizes Valve’s pressure-vessel system and runtime environment alongside proton to run non-steam games outside of steam just like steam does.
– UMU-Database – an online database built by members of various projects who assign IDs for non-steam games, to ensure that games all receive the same fixes, irrespective of their launcher.
– UMU-Protonfixes – a collection of game fixes that can be applied to games when run in GE-Proton or UMU-Proton.
