This is just a basic (yet verbose and thorough) guide on how to configure Lutris to use as prefix that was set up by Proton through Steam. There may be other guides out there, but I was personally particularly stuck trying to get WINE to use a different username within the prefix (a trivial matter in hindsight) and search engines weren't providing me any useful information, so I figured I would share how I got it to work. I will be explaining it from the perspective of setting up XIVLauncher (A.K.A. FFXIVLauncher by goatcorp) in a prefix created by Steam for Final Fantasy XIV Online in order to share the game files between the official launcher and XIVLauncher. This should be applicable to other games/apps though.

First, run your game/application in Steam. This is important because it will create the prefix that you need in order to interact with games/apps that are usually launched directly through Steam. You should now be able to locate this prefix under "%STEAM_LIBRARY%/steamapps/compatdata/%STEAM_APP_ID%/pfx". The %STEAM_LIBRARY% obviously depends on where you configured Steam to install your games/apps and the %STEAM_APP_ID% will depend on what game/app it is that you're trying to set up. There are 2 easy methods of finding this app ID. You can view the game/app in your library, click "Store Page" (directly under "Play" or "Launch"), and observe the number between "/app/" and the game/app's name in the URL. For example, "https://store.steampowered.com/app/39210/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online/" has an app ID of 39210. Another way is to launch protontricks using the succeeding --gui option (protontricks --gui, which should be the default for the shortcut in the app menu), scroll to your desired game/app, and observe the number following the colon. For example, protontricks will display "Final Fantasy XIV Online: 39210" for FFXIV. From here on, the prefix path will simply be referred to as %PREFIX% for the sake of brevity.
