Neutron - CLI Wine Manager

CLI to download and manage Proton and Wine versions, manage wine prefixes, and run them using bubblewrap

Features

• Symlink Proton versions to use them in multiple launchers such as Steam and Bottles without taking extra space
• More Proton versions available than ProtonPlus and ProtonUp-Qt, such as Spritz Wine
• Download in parallel using aria2

Limitations

Currently only supports using the latest version of each wine, not older versions

Usage - manage Wine versions

Add Proton-EM to all targets

neutron runner add proton-em

Add a target to install all runners to

neutron target add steam-flatpak

Update all installed runners to latest version

Usage - run wine programs

neutron run [FILE PATH] - Runs in neutron's default prefix

neutron run [FILE PATH] --prefix mywineprefix

neutron run steam [GAME ID]

--no-bwrap / -b - Don't sandbox wine, in case the program needs to access your host system's files

--gamescope / -g - Run inside gamescope

--cage - Run inside of cage

--wayland / -w - Run using winewayland driver

--umu - Run wine inside of umu-launcher (this will happen regardless of this flag for Proton-based runners)

--no-umu - Run the proton executable directly without Steam Runtime

--no-network / -n - Disable network access (not compatible with --no-bwrap)

Usage - manage prefixes

neutron prefix add mywineprefix --runner proton-em

neutron prefix delete mywineprefix

neutron prefix change-runner mywineprefix proton-em

Future plans

• Nix declarative prefix creation, with first-run installer executable support
• GUI
