-Install the common 32-bit graphics and audio libraries most Wine/Proton setups want:
+**For umu-launcher (Methods 1–4):** Proton-GE runs inside the Steam Runtime container, which bundles most libraries. Only the things the container cannot provide need to be on the host — Vulkan ICDs, audio, and TLS:
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S --needed \
+  gnutls lib32-gnutls \
+  mpg123 lib32-mpg123 \
+  openal lib32-openal \
+  libpulse lib32-libpulse \
+  alsa-plugins lib32-alsa-plugins \
+  alsa-lib lib32-alsa-lib \
+  vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
+```
+
+**For plain wine-staging (Method 5 only):** Wine runs directly on the host, so it needs the full set of libraries:
