Proton

By Valve

Visit website

Compatibility layer for Windows games on Linux, useful for testing Windows builds on SteamOS and Steam Deck. Compatibility must be checked per game.

repo

Start: Test the Windows game build in a Linux environment with Steam, following Valve's Proton guidance. Review gameplay, input and middleware behavior, and investigate the documented compatibility issues.

Limits: Some anti-cheat systems require title-specific configuration. Running successfully in a local test does not grant a Verified rating; Valve's compatibility review is separate. Documentation reviewed; no game tested.
