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.

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 🙂
