I dunno but I tried that and it didn’t work at all. Had to go searching around online for how to even install a damn game. Then when I launched it, the game started running at like 2FPS.
The same game runs on the same PC on Windows at 144FPS.
And that’s the story of the time I tried to game on Linux.
Installing games is same as Windows, download and launch via Steam. As for lack of FPS, willing to bet you had an Nvidia card but didn’t install the drivers for it.

So it sounds a lot like you’ve never actually done this before because that’s factually incorrect.

Wrong again.
You click the game on Steam, click “install”. That’s the same on Windows or Linux, the client doesn’t change.
Going from 144fps to 2fps sounds like a graphics driver issue to me, what was the problem then?

As a long time openSUSE user I know for a fact that you’re wrong.

Wait, you had so much trouble to look if the “Enable Steam Play” checkbox was ticked? 🙄
Yet another person missing the point 🤦
Nah, we all get the point. You claim that Steam does not come with Proton on regular Linux distributions but you’re wrong which is an easily googlable fact you continue to deny. If your installation of Steam is somehow broken, that’s specific to you. At most the “Enable Steam Play” checkbox has to be ticked in Steam’s settings.

Just for shits and giggles I fired up a VM and did a clean Steam installation from Flathub. This is the default:
Steam Play (=Proton) is on for supported Windows games. For unsupported games it’s off.
