Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping download scripts is straightforward, properly managing Linux gaming runtime environments, Proton prefixes, upstream manifest updates, and sandboxed Wine compatibility layers requires significant Linux systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack would typically be Bash, Python, or Rust interacting with Steam Runtime containers (pressure-vessel), Wine prefix structures, and upstream GitHub release APIs for Proton-GE. The difficult part is robustly handling Wine registry manipulation, dynamic dependency isolation across various Linux distributions, and handling anti-cheat or launcher breaking updates from Blizzard/Battle.net.
