      Faugus Launcher is a frontend for the umu-launcher

      it does not have the same performance and your fps in games will show it as well as graphics

        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

      because English users and all other language users use it as well to play games

      Cyberpunk 2077 is what am currently playing using this launcher because it is the only one that works and allows all the settings we prefer such as raytracing on top of good consistent fps

      if you notice my other post on here was AdaptiveCPP which is also what use with portproton to get good fps

      talking Cyberpunk with raytracing and medium settings on 1080p with an Intel arc A750 8GB 70+/- fps

      Linux Gaming works but only with a big toolbox packed with good tools

      most modern browsers should have a translate button readily available

          there is a translate button built into modern browsers

          and since startwine has not been cutting it lately portproton has been the only option

          yes English developed options exist but are not on par such as Faugus Launcher or the Heroic Games Launcher

          our computer repair shop has tested all the available game launchers for Linux on modern games

            A software with zero support because the developers and the community speak only Russian. Thanks you, but no. If you want to go international, use English.

              Google Translate app available for phones allows anyone to read any language with your camera and along with modern browsers being able to translate virtually any language the world is getting even smaller and innovations larger than life

                You should also install an app that would add periods and commas, because reading your texts is quite painful.
