In this video I cover how to install and play Doom Eternal on Linux using Steam Proton.

Step 1. Install Latest GPU Drivers.

Install the latest GPU drivers for your hardware using your distribution's package manager either through a GUI, for example, in Ubuntu you have the Additional Drivers application.

Or using a Terminal.

Step 2. Install Steam.

Install Steam using your distribution's package manager using a GUI software store or the Terminal.

On Ubuntu, the following command will install Steam.

sudo apt install steam

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

Step 3. Enable Steam Proton for Your Entire Library.

Doom Eternal is a Windows developed games so you will need to enable Proton to run it on Linux.

Navigate to Steam / Settings / Steam Play and enable both “Enable Steam Play for supported titles” and “Enable Steam Play for all other titles”.

By default, this should choose Proton Experimental, which is perfectly fine for launching this game.

Restart Steam when prompted.

Now you should be able to install and play Doom Eternal as normal.
