From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can already use umu with Lutris. If you choose any version of Proton as your wine runner, Lutris will automatically use Proton. One pretty major drawback is that Lutris won't allow you to use winetricks, as umu didn't add support for it until after the last Lutris release. Heroic supports it as well.
I haven't seen the Bottles devs give any info about when they might implement. I'm thinking it might not be until Bottles Next.
I think I did something wrong and the option to use umu through lutris disappeared, lol. I'll have to tinker with them.
If you're on the newest version you shouldn't need to manually select anything to use UMU. You just need to be using a Proton runner as your Wine version. I'm using GE-Proton9-15 and I can see in the logs when watching a game that Umu is being used.
Oh thank you
For somw reason there was an option, but soon it was gone(??)
No problem. I do think they had it as an option before they made it the default whenever Proton is used
