This video covers setting up Zorin OS for gaming so you can play native and Window developed games using Steam Proton and Lutris.

Step 1. Install latest GPU drivers.

When you first boot up off the Zorin OS ISO you have several options.

Choose the first option (Try or Install Zorin OS) if you have AMD hardware or the third (Try or Install Zorin OS (modern NVIDIA drivers)) if you have nVidia hardware.

Also remember to choose the “Install third party software for graphics and and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats” when prompted in the installation.
