Proton (Steam Play 2.0) is a set of game-focused patches on top of Wine, plus several other components that improve game compatibility and/or performance. The most notable of these are DXVK, which implements Direct3D 8/9/10/11 APIs in terms of Vulkan, and vkd3d-proton, which does the same for Direct3D 12. In many cases, it's possible to get a game running with regular Wine (or Wine-staging) if you install into the Wine prefix not only the game, but also one or more of: DXVK, vkd3d-proton, whatever Microsoft Visual C++ runtime the game wants, and Mono. If a game also needs custom Wine patches, you'll have better luck with a game manager like Lutris, which automates installing patched Wine versions, or running a Wine build like the one that GloriousEggroll maintained until recently. Be sure that your graphics card's Vulkan drivers are inst

League runs on Linux easy, all you need is patched Wine: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/t... It's easiest to use this via software like Lutris or Bottles.

Unfortunately, GOG seems to have mostly given up on Linux and often doesn't provide available Linux builds (I think there may have been one main employee who pushed for better Linux support who left years ago). There is at least one "Proton without Steam" build that I haven't tried: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom Personally, I've been using Windows fully offline with GOG games, although I'd like to some day try putting together a Linux based offline game console (or maybe NetBSD based if Wine is sufficient).
