you should be able to just move the prefix into the folder managed by bottles or heroic, or add the existing folder location to either of those. All of them just present visuals on top of wine/proton. Might also have to manually download and set the wine/proton version from whichever apps built in management.
Bottles is also ran by an absolute shitty person who's slowly going insane.
Frankly I would avoid bottles even more then lutris and if your going to avoid both just use herotic.
Oh no, what's happening with Bottles now?
