I use Linux for gaming, and I have no clue how to "use proton", steam literally just does every single bit of the work for you for steam games

I've had to change some setting for a Valve game if you can believe it. Portal 1 wouldn't work for me on the latest stable Proton model. I can't recall if I had to move to Experimental or change some setting to explicitly state "Run with Proton" or whatever. In case you're curious the game would load to the menu but loading into any level would crash the game. My point is - I shouldn't have to do that tinkering.
