How do I get Proton on Steam to work?

I've heard about the new Steam Proton, but I have no idea how to get it to work. I'm obviously a newbie to Ubuntu and any help is appreciated! I followed the quick start on the Steam website and installed the NVIDIA driver.

What do I do?


You can activate Steam Play by doing:

  1. Update Steam to the latest version.
  2. Open Steam > Settings.
  3. Go to Steam Play.
  4. Enable all checkboxes.
  5. Save the settings and restart Steam.
