protonup installs to ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d but Steam is only looking under ~/.local/share/steam

Hi,

I recently decided to try Steam in Linux again.

I noticed that protonup was installing the latest GE Proton to ~/.steam/root/compatibilituttools.d but Steam was not noticing the custom Proton, and I couldn't select it in the UI.

However, after running this, Steam was able to find custom Proton:

cp -r ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d ~/.local/share/Steam/

You can change the default installation directory with -d, in your case I guess it would be
protonup -d "~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d"
