Description
Problem description
Currently, it's not clear for users when they cannot use modern DXVK when their GPU does not support Vulkan 1.3+.
Most of the times they end up asking for support and someone has to know their GPU is old or maybe something shows up in the logs.
Feature description
Since we already check the vulkan support we could use that information and display it in better places than the general logs.
I imagine:
- this PR adds Proton-Sarek, we would pick this as the default proton on new installs
- we can display a warning in the GE-Proton tab in the wine manager
- we can display a warning if GE-Proton is selected in the Wine Version selector for games and games defaults
- we can store this check result somewhere global and print that information also in the game logs if GE-Proton is used to run a game
- maybe there are more places where this can be useful
This should make it way more user-friendly.
Alternatives
Another option could be to even hide GE-Proton, but I don't like hiding things from users because they think something is not working, a warning explaining they should us it is probably better.
