> Launch Windows executables directly on Linux using Proton

Kisel is a lightweight Linux desktop utility for running Windows executables directly using Wine and Proton without managing complex game libraries. It integrates with umu-launcher, manages shared or portable prefixes, and provides quick toggles for tools like MangoHud and Gamescope. It is distributed as a Flatpak, native Linux packages, or built from source.
