[Enhancement] remove proton_dist.tar tarball

Open markstinson opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Please enable button click or option cronjob to remove the proton_dist.tar files.

Proton does not clean up its tarballs. They are roughly 1GB in size.

(deck@steamdeck ~)$ find .local/share -type f -name "*.tar" -ls

Nothing yet, sorry! Been busy with the whole life situation (more details on my channel) but development should get the power of The Schwartz sometime in September 🙂
