Just a quick script that I wrote to fetch the latest versions of Proton GE.

Can be found here on my github:

I also have this bash script to call this script loaded in my **PATH**.

cd /home/j/gits/get_latest_proton_ge/
poetry run python src/get_latest_proton_ge/get_latest_proton_ge.py

To use this just clone the repo, and then run a "poetry install" from inside the repository directory to populate the Python virtualenv.

Running **get_proton** anytime will fetch the latest version and install it. This is handier than typing all that out on the SteamDeck.

I also use it on my desktop.
