looks like a new umu release was done 1 hour ago, so maybe this is working now? it should be updated automatically

That worked. What exactly is umu and what's the disadvantage of leaving it disabled forever?

Proton does not like to be run outside of Steam (e.g., with Heroic). umu aims to ensure that it can be. disabling it may work in the short term, but it isn't a permanent solution

FYI disabling umu, or even toggling it does not work
The new umu runtime does work though

Disabling worked for me. I'm guessing a new umu binary will come to the Steam Deck via an update?
