This guide covers five methods for running NIKKE on Linux using Wine/Proton:
| Path 1: DW Proton | Path 2: Miniloader | Path 3: Lutris | Path 4: DW Launcher | Path 5: Windows + Steam (Old - use DWProton with Steam instead) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Update process | Updates through the launcher | Updates through the launcher | Updates through the launcher | Updates through the launcher | Re-download from Windows each time |
| Notes | N/A | Some updates might not work, so you will need to move update_files |
N/A | N/A | Avoid this path unless necessary, you don't need windows anymore, but you can use Steam just fine. Simply use Steam and DWProton, it just works. |
