According to the developer on Mastodon, Lutris is now able to install and run other Flatpaks, which is a big improvement in compatibility for Steam Deck users especially.
To download the Beta there's a pre-made .deb for Debian-based distributions, plus the source file includes a bin file you can run manually. Otherwise, compile from source or wait until the full release where it will get updated on Flathub.

Quoting: 14I am still on the main release, and when I want to launch a game through Lutris with Proton (like Spellforce 3), I use GE Proton. Works great. You just have to make sure you download the one that is made to be launched outside of Steam.
Funny thing about those, not a single one of them worked for me. Lutris actually has those builds in the list of Wine Runners you can check and uncheck to download/remove. Those binaries don't work right, at least not in all code paths, on my system, I'd think. I have also tried drop-ins from gloriouseggroll's snapshots there (more than once) with similar results, no game would launch with them.
Lutris 7.2-2 would work for me, if not superseded by my system wine-tkg (and proton-tkg builds that I have in Steam for unreal 4 games in Lutris) but those GE builds don't work for me in Lutris. I'm not one to adhere to any kind of "supported" distro configuration, though.
That's why I was so happy to see Lutris able to connect up with Steam Proton runners again.
I have not tested any of that GE stuff recently though.
