  • steam-runtime

    A runtime environment for Steam applications

    • They ended up creating a common runtime for game devs targetting Steam on Linux: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime

  • proton-ge-custom

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

    • I find what works for me (YMMV) is swapping between LTS proton, Experimental, and Glorious Eggroll. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/ (if on arch - it's in the AUR). 99% of the time for modern-ish games GE is what gets it running. For older games usually a compat version helps.
