      Most games on steam just work out of the box.

      If it doesn’t, protondb may have workarounds, many of which are minor.

      The biggest exception are games with invasive anticheat actively choosing not to allow you to use Linux.

      Yes, I was shocked as well, since I always fucked around with wine and different launchers to get MTGA running and then they just released it on steam and it works like a charm (for mtga at least).

          Okay, I remember. It’s not as easy as clicking “install”. I had to add the game to my library and then click on the game in the library and there the gear icon. Then “Properties…”->“Compatibility”-> and then check “Force use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” and then use “Proton Experimental”, its the default and for me always worked.
