    You install it from within Steam, or using flatpak if you’re installing Steam via flatpak [Proton on flatpak has reached EOL, try installing via Steam instead]. Then in settings you set it so every game uses the Proton compatibility layer, or whatever it’s called. You don’t have to do it per game, it’s a global setting (as well as a setting for each game if you prefer).

    I can’t answer for a specific game though, you’d have to simply try it out or check a database which has info on games that can run using Proton. I don’t know the site from memory.

      Thanks for the info!

      On Eindows, StarCraft 2 comes from the Blizzard battle.net launcher.

      I’m curious to know if I get a steam deck if I can play non steam games. I don’t really want to install windows on it.

        Let’s hope someone who knows about Steam Deck can answer that for you. Otherwise I’d try to find a community dedicated to Steam Deck. 👍

          Ha yeah I’ll investigate. I believe it has a desktop you can get to with browser etc, and it’s based on Arch. So perhaps it’s possible somehow.

          Thanks anyway
