Step 1. Install Steam & Enable Proton

Steam can be installed using your package manager.

For example to install on Ubuntu based distributions, use the following command.

sudo apt install steam

Once installed, launch Steam, update, and then sign into your account.

By default, you will notice that all three of the games are not able to be installed, as they have not officially whitelisted by Valve as Proton compatible, but this can easily be overwritten.

First navigate to Steam / Steam Play / Advanced and tick the Enable Steam Play for all other titles.

Restart Steam, and now you will be able to install the games.

Step 2. Install The Games.

Once Proton is enabled, install and launch the games as normal.
