You can already use umu with Lutris. If you choose any version of Proton as your wine runner, Lutris will automatically use Proton. One pretty major drawback is that Lutris won’t allow you to use winetricks, as umu didn’t add support for it until after the last Lutris release. Heroic supports it as well.
I haven’t seen the Bottles devs give any info about when they might implement. I’m thinking it might not be until Bottles Next.
If you’re on the newest version you shouldn’t need to manually select anything to use UMU. You just need to be using a Proton runner as your Wine version. I’m using GE-Proton9-15 and I can see in the logs when watching a game that Umu is being used.
umu is in lutris, heroic, Faugus, and zoom so far that Ive heard of. bottles is in the middle of a huge rewrite but they got distracted by the little side project of making a new distro
After messing a bit around with bottles, lutris and heroic, I think I had most success with bottles.
Now there’s umu launcher in the game too, I’d like to use it in bottles/lutris somehow
Never heard of it before. Interesting to see it a new project be more stable than established names such as Lutris.

I think I did something wrong and the option to use umu through lutris disappeared, lol. I’ll have to tinker with them.

Oh thank you
For somw reason there was an option, but soon it was gone(??)
No problem. I do think they had it as an option before they made it the default whenever Proton is used

umu, what’s this?
UmU notices your windows software
I think that was the purpose of the name lol
Seriously though, I didn’t know what it was. I had to look it up: https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher
I haven’t used Lutris since I started using Bottles. Lutris was always a headache for me.
I had the same issue and I cant understand why…
I’m probably gonna end up using these (in layers)
wine-ge/umu-launcher -> bottles -> OpenGamepadUI
(I’m not very sure what umu launcher should do and if it replaces wine-ge)
AFAIK the Lutris devs are working on integrating umu into Lutris, not sure about bottles though
Yeah, I think the lutris, bottles and heoric developers all work together on umu and will probably try to integrate it on their apps
Did UMU get a launcher? Isn’t a Proton “distribution” any launcher can use?
I think the “launcher” part in the name is a bit misleading. I think it is as you describe it.
