"How To Play Enshrouded on Linux - Step-by-Step Tutorial"
28In this video, I cover how to install and play Enshrouded on Linux using Steam Proton Experimental.
Step 1. Install Latest GPU Driver.
For AMD hardware, assuming that your system is up to date, then you should already be using the latest available user space (Mesa) and Linux kernel GPU drivers.
Alternatively, for Nvidia hardware, install the latest proprietary driver using a GUI application such as Additional Drivers for Ubuntu, Driver Manager for Linux Mint or Hardware Configuration for Manjaro.

You can install the latest GPU drivers using Terminal commands, as documented on the Lutris wiki for Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE based systems.
But in either case, once installation has finished, reboot the system for good measure.
Step 2. Install Steam.
Steam can be installed as part of the Steam Installer package found in your distribution's application centre, such as App Centre (Ubuntu) Pamac (Manjaro) or Pop Shop (Pop!_OS).
Simply, click install and follow the prompts.
Alternatively, you can also install Steam using the Terminal, for example, to install Steam on Ubuntu, run the following command.
sudo apt install steam
But in either case, once Steam is installed, launch from your application launcher and sign into your account.
Step 3. Enable Steam Proton.
Next, enable the Steam Proton compatibility layer which will allow you to play Windows exclusive games on Linux.
To do this, navigate to Steam, Settings, Compatibility, and toggle on both Enable Steam Play for supported titles and Enable Steam Play for all other titles.
This should also select Proton Experimental as the default build of Proton, which is what we want.
Finally, restart Steam to apply.
Step 4. Install Enshrouded.
Simply, click install, follow the prompts, and click the green Play button to launch.
Step 5. Enable DLSS Support.
Out of the box, the game supports two forms of anti-aliasing, FXAA, and FSR2, but if you have a supported Nvidia GPU, you can also enable support for DLSS.
To do this, right click on the game, select Properties, and under the General tab, in the LAUNCH OPTIONS FIELD, enter the following.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
This command will enable support for DLSS within the game.
In the future, this might be enabled by default.
All done.
