Step 1. Install Steam.

Steam should be available to install using a package manager from all Linux distribution’s repositories, and in most cases using a software centre or with Terminal commands.

Snap Store

Once installation has finished, launch Steam using your application launcher, apply the update and then sign into your account.

Step 2. Enable Steam Proton.

To enable Steam Proton for your library, navigate to Steam / Settings / Compatibility and tick both “Enable Steam Play for supported titles” and “Enable Steam Play for all other titles”.

Steam Compatibility Setting

This will select Proton Experimental as the default Proton build, so restart Steam to apply.
