    Just because the original response seems so ignorant. Like have you actually tried it? Have you looked up the user experiences? Why am I supposed to provide the links when you are making the claim? As another user mentioned most things are seamless to run. Yes they require wine/proton as a compatibility layer, but steam does it seamlessly, it is as easy as enabling the compatibility in steam options and pressing install, then play. And this generally works for non-steam titles as well, you just add the non-steam title and let steam handle the rest.

    The OP of the video wrote himself that his process for setting up the games in the video was : install OS, install steam, install game, launch game on both windows and linux.

      You can read the rest of my comments to understand the conversation, and where I have landed. You’re incredibly rude and I am done after this.

      Either way, I know you’re just going to fight me instead of reading it, so I will just give you the cliff’s notes of what I learned: steam does not put up if a game is compatible with Linux if you have to run proton or something. It specifically only leaves the windows icon for compatibility. I was not aware of this, I feel like it’s pretty reasonable to assume that if Linux is not listed as a compatible platform then the game won’t run on Linux (just like with Mac OS). So go ahead and enjoy your victory lap or whatever.
