+===== Wine Dependancies and Lutris =====
+There are several packages that wine, proton and lutris game installs need.
+It is recommended installing all the dependancies before installing lutris.

+===== ESync - Helps Game Overhead =====
+Check to see if esync is enabled already (most distributions do by default)
+<code bash>
+ulimit -Hn
+</code>
+If this returns more than 500,000 than ESYNC IS ENABLED! If not, proceed with these instructions:
+Change the following files and add this line to the bottom
+/etc/systemd/system.conf & /etc/systemd/user.conf
+<file bash /etc/systemd/system.conf>
+DefaultLimitNOFILE=524288
+</file>
+<file bash /etc/systemd/user.conf>
+DefaultLimitNOFILE=524288
+</file>
+/etc/security/limits.conf
+<file bash /etc/security/limits.conf>
+username hard nofile 524288
+</file>
+<WRAP important>
+**IMPORTANT:**  Change username to your username!!!

+===== GameMode - No CPU Throttling =====
+GitHub Source Project: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
+==== Ubuntu/Debian Dependencies ====
+<code bash>
+apt install meson libsystemd-dev pkg-config ninja-build git libdbus-1-dev libinih-dev dbus-user-session -y
+</code>
+----
+==== Arch Dependencies ====

+  * Steam - Go to Launch options for the game of choice and type in <code bash>gamemoderun %command%</code>
+  * Terminal - type <code bash>gamemoderun ./game</code>
+  * Gnome Tool - If you use GNOME Desktop Environment install this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1852/gamemode/
+----
+===== Custom Proton =====
+The stock steam proton is rather old and behind the Wine team.
+Which means there are a lot of performance tweaks and improvements that you aren’t getting yet.
+It is therefore recommended that you install Custom proton which should provide a considerable improvement when gaming in Steam.
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  DO NOT USE STEAM IN A FLATPAK!  You will lose some performance and modifications are more difficult!
+</WRAP>
+Source Project: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom#manual
+Auto-Install Project: https://github.com/Termuellinator/ProtonUpdater
+For Installation, we will use the ProtonUpdater script on GitHub.

+sudo chmod +x cproton.sh
+./cproton.sh
