Step 4. Install Steam.

Open the Ubuntu Software application, search Steam, and install.

Step 5. Enable Steam Proton Support.

Launch Steam, sign into your account, navigate to Steam / Settings / Steam Play / Advanced and tick the Enable Steam Play for all other titles option, and restart Steam to apply.

This will select Proton Experimental by default, which is what we want to use.

Step 6. Enable Feral Gamemode For Steam and Lutris.

Feral Gamemode is pre-installed in Ubuntu 20.04.

To use with Steam:

Launch Steam, click on the properties of a game, navigate to SET LAUNCH OPTIONS and type the following:

gamemoderun %command%
Alternatively for Lutris:

Launch Lutris, navigate to Preferences, System options, and type the following into the Command prefix: gamemoderun

Please note that you will need to tick the Show advanced options for the Command prefix to appear.

Either way, click Save once done.
