Faugus Launcher is a free, open-source Linux application designed to simplify running Windows games through Proton compatibility technology. It uses UMU-Launcher to provide a streamlined environment for launching games outside conventional gaming platforms. Users can add Windows executables, configure launch settings, and manage individual game installations through a graphical interface. The application supports multiple Proton versions and provides tools for managing compatibility environments. Its library offers several viewing modes, including lists, grids, covers, and carousels. Faugus Launcher also integrates with Steam and supports gamepad navigation for controller-based operation. Built with GTK4 and Libadwaita, it provides a lightweight interface suitable for desktop Linux systems and gaming-focused distributions.
