Feature Request

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

Can we get a "Proton Stable" option that always points to the most recent stable version of Proton, in the same way that "Proton Next" points to the RC for the next stable release?

Justification [optional]

It saves forgetful people like me from having to remember to update the "Default compatibility tool" setting whenever you guys release a new stable version, which I quite often forget to do.

Risks [optional]

I am operating under the assumption that regressions are either rare or never, and so it's always best to use the latest stable as it is more likely to actually work on untested games (Steam Deck rating of "Unknown")

Hello @eyeonus, this request is already being tracked at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/6859. Closing in favor of the older feature request.
