In this video, I'll guide you through the simple steps to get started with the Linux Steam client, SteamPlay, and Proton, to run your Windows games on Linux !

You'll need to install Steam first, if you don't get it in your software center, try out flatpak :
Setting up flatpak: https://flatpak.org/setup/
Installing the Steam Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.valvesoftware.Steam

THen, you'll need to activate the Steam Beta update, and enable SteamPlay for all windows games.

You'll obviously need up to date drivers, here are a few simple steps for Ubuntu based distributions:
For Nvidia:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update

For AMD and Intel:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update

Installation instructions:
https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers

Finally, you can download and install any game directly from Steam, as you would a native game !
