If you are not familiar with ReShade, it is a post-processing injector for games and video software.
In short it allows you to add SMAA anti-aliasing, ambient occlusion, depth of field, chromatic aberration, dynamic film grain, saturation, colour correction, and many more effects to your games.
In some cases, using ReShade will add functionality that was not originally available in the game.
Officially, ReShade is only available on Windows, but due the open-source nature of the project, it is now possible to use on Linux as well.

reshade-linux is a GitHub project which will allow you download ReShade itself as well as a collection of effects that you can apply to any games running using Steam Proton or Wine.
1. Installation.
First open a Terminal window and run the following command.
curl -LO https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton/raw/main/reshade-linux.sh
This will download the reshade-linux script to your home directory.
Next, we need to make the script executable, which you can do with the following command.
chmod u+x reshade-linux.sh
Finally, we need to run the script with this command.
./reshade-linux.sh
First the script will check if ReShade is already installed on your system, and if not download and install ReShade.
Once the process is finished, it will if you want to install or uninstall ReShade for a particular game.
In this case we want to install ReShade for Dark Souls Remastered so I will press I.
Now we need to specify where the game executable is located.
In Steam the easiest method to do that is to open the properties of the game, click on the Local File tab, and click the Browse button.
This will bring up directory in your file browser.
From here, copy the path, paste into the Terminal, press Enter and confirm the path is correct.
It will also ask you if you want to automatically detect the right dll files to use for ReShade, press y.
You might also get another prompt about the architecture of the game, press y again.
Once the process is finished, take a copy of the environmental variable, and paste that into the game’s custom launch option.
You find that by opening properties, and at the bottom of the General tab.
Click OK once done.
2. Using ReShade.
To use ReShade with a game, launch as normal and press the Home key to bring up the list of available effects.
Simply enable the ones you wish to use.
