Since theirs no real reason why after all this time the user has to go into settings to enable proton manually. It would be nice if packagers could set a flag so its already on. Because users new to linux never know how to get games to work and its unlikely they have a large linux only game library.

They just get a gray button and don't know how to fix it causing issue tickets. So can we please get is in some way.

Hello @EliteAMDGamer, my understanding is that support for running games with Proton is unofficial and unofficial options can't be enabled by default. The feature request at #7234 is a plausible way forward.

Closing in favor of the older feature request.
