In case, like me, you're wondering what umu is:

This is a unified launcher for Windows games on Linux. It is essentially a copy of the Steam Runtime Tools and Steam Linux Runtime that Valve uses for Proton, with some modifications made so that it can be used outside of Steam.

I my memories are coorect it is a common FOSS brick used by Heroic, Lutris, Faugus and probably most Linux games launchers.
