Installing Protontricks via FlatPak

Includes any distribution where FlatPak is available.

To insall Protontricks via FlatPak, we will need Flatseal and Protontricks.

These can be installed via a FlatPak supporting Package Manager such as Discover:

Discover

After installing, first launch Flatseal:

Flatseal

Scroll through the left column of apps in Flatseal until you're able to find and click on "Protontricks". This will display a configuration list in the right pane:

Flatseal

Scroll down to the "Filesystem" section:

  1. Enable All system files.

Close Flatseal.

Lastly add an alias so protontricks can be executed from the terminal:

echo "alias protontricks='flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "alias protontricks-launch='flatpak run --command=protontricks-launch com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.bashrc

Paste these lines into a terminal window, and press enter.

We enabled full filesystem access for simplicity

You can be more granular if you know what you're doing, but for simplicity we've simply enabled full filesystem access.

The installer requires access to /home and protontricks needs access to Steam library folders.
