Adding an option to delete all older versions of proton after installing a new one
after installation of a new version user will be prompted:
Would you like to delete N previous version(s) of protonGE? (y/N)
With N being a number of previous versions installed. If user just taps enter or writes N it will skip this portion of code, but if user opts into by typing Y it will ask again as a confirmation and then wipe all protonGE versions user had before. I personally find it useful as it will enable easier way to de-clutter.
In other small changes, output of def installed_versions():
is now sorted latest to oldest version.
Why is it necessary to change "hotfix" to "update"? It's checking for minor fixes released under the same tag.

Update is a more general term. If it could distinguish between a small hotfix and a major update then why not say hotfix or update depending on changes but since it does not update is a more accurate term.
A hotfix is always an update but an update is not always a hotfix.
I first want to test the new proton version before deleting every other version. I would like prefer if the user could give a number. e.G. You insert 2 and then he don't delete the 2 latest version (+ the new downloaded one)

It does that... that code (executed when the version is already installed) is specifically looking for hotfixes. I guess it's not necessary to print No hotfix found
when there are no hotfixes tho

Welp, I reverted the commit

Perhaps keep the latest 2 versions then? I think Ubuntu Mainline App does the same with displaying Preview Kernels, it provides an option to select 'Last (N) Amount of Updates'
I'd also like this as an option. On my Arch machine I usually install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proton-ge-custom-bin which only downloads the latest version (and overwriting previous versions) without requiring me to manually change the Proton build I want to use every time a Proton-GE update releases (since there's no version number attached to it). Having something similar on my Pop!_OS machine would be nice.
Is there any ETA on this PR getting merged into main?
Thank you! This makes things much easier.
