Description
There are games like Doki Doki Literature Club that read the system username and use it in interesting ways inside the game. Proton prefixes always use "steamuser" instead of the user's choice, breaking certain game elements. Using the current username should be possible as well. (Perhaps this should be done in per-title configuration?)

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating Proton's prefix creation and username configuration, then determine whether the user's current username can be used safely or needs per-title configuration; done means Proton no longer forces the username to "steamuser".
