Disclaimer

Affiliation Note: ProtonUp-Qt is an independent tool for managing gaming compatibility tools. It is neither directly affiliated with the compatibility tool creators nor with the providers of the individual game launchers. However, we try to work with them where possible.

The official development takes place on GitHub at DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt, and the official website is https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt. We distribute ProtonUp-Qt as a Flatpak on Flathub and as an AppImage in the releases section of the GitHub repository. Additionally, we check the integrity of the AUR (protonup-qt and protonup-qt-bin) and Pacstall distribution on an irregular basis.

Download from Flathub or as AppImage (portable):

Website: https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt

Run from source

Install dependencies with uv

uv sync

Run ProtonUp-Qt

uv run protonup-qt

Build AppImage with Nix

Build

nix build .#appimage

The AppImage and its .zsync file are placed in result/. The AppImage is built from the PyPI wheels in uv.lock (which bundle Qt) and a relocatable python-build-standalone interpreter, so it does not depend on /nix/store and runs on distributions with glibc 2.34 or newer.
