Some basic instructions to get started with running a windows package on linux.

New page

== Install Steam ==
# Create an account with Steam if you do not already have one
# Follow the instructions at Steam's website for installing Steam on Linux: https://store.steampowered.com/about/

== Enable Compatibility for Windows Applications ==
# Open Steam and Log In
# In the Steam Menu, select Settings
# In the left side of the window click on "Steam Play"
# Make sure that "Enable Steam Play for supported titles" is checked and make sure that "Enable steam play for all other titles" is checked

== Install Glorious Eggroll version of Proton ==
The built-in Proton versions so far have some issues with some titles so the customized version 'Glorious Eggroll' is a possible solution
# Download Glorious Eggroll version of Proton from: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
# Extract the tarball to the directory: ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/ (note: may need to create the directories)
# Close and restart steam

== Place to put the non-steam game for ease of execution ==
Proton should work like WINE,but as a precaution, rather than place the executable contents anywhere, it would be better to place in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/pfx/drive_c/<your choice here>

== To get the game to show up in Steam ==
The only games that automatically show up in steam are those that are from the Steam Store, however, adding non-steam games to the library is possible. Games that include a desktop entry can be added to the steam library.
# Open a menu editor like menulibre
# Add a new launcher by clicking the + button in MenuLibre
# Search for the Windows Executable.
# Place the file path (minus the executable) in the "working directory" and the executable in the "command"
# in the box that says "New Launcher" click and type a new name (this is what you will be looking for in steam)
# Select an Icon, enter a description, select a category (optional)
# Save the launcher entry and close menulibre
# In steam, go to the library and click "add a game"
# Select "add a non-steam game"
# Click browse
# Navigate to your home folder then ".local/share/applications"
# The desktop entry will most likely start with menulibre-xxxx where xxxx is the name of the launcher
# Click "open"
# Click "add selected programs"
# Right click the menu item choice that matches the name of the launcher and select properties
# Can rename the item and choose an icon here. This unfortunately does not copy the data from the desktop entry. (maybe a dummy desktop entry would have been sufficient)
# Click browse to find the executable
# Click "compatibility"
# Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
# Select Proton-6.14-GE2 (or whatever version of Glorious Eggroll that was installed in compatibilitytools.d)
# Close the properties window
