Windows-only games can run on the Linux version of Steam using a feature built into the app called Steam Play, which allows games to be run on unsupported platforms using compatibility layers. Steam comes bundled with the Proton compatibility tool, a fork of Wine maintained by Valve. It has very high compatibility, as long as you aren't looking to play competitive multiplayer titles.

Here's a community maintained compatibility list: https://www.protondb.com/



Thanks!!!! I found the option. I've heard great things about proton just didn't realize I had to flip a switch.


You might want to look into GloriousEggroll, it tends to have better support for media and such.
