-- HeroicGames supports GOG and Epic Games (and Amazon)
-- Steam needs no explanation
-- Proton GE is improved version of Proton, the WINE based compatibility layer
-  for playing Windows games and probably needs no introduction either
-- ProtonUp allows downloading newer versions of Proton including Proton GE, in
-  flatpaks it's mainly useful for either SteamOS users or Heroic Games which
-  might actually have its integrated manager...
-- MangoHud and gamescope can be used by Heroic Games or manually in Steam (see
-  gayming README below), but they might require specific version or branch, so
-  after the dualslash change the branch from `23.08` if they decide to update to
-  require a newer version.
