Proton is an open-source compability layer for running Windows-only Steam games on Linux. Proton is based on Wine and additional components. It requires zero configuration for whitelisted games, just launch the game the same way you would launch a Linux native game on Steam. Proton was revealed to the public 21st august 2018 and at launch 27 titles was officially whitelisted [1]. A lot more is compatible and can be played by changing a switch in Steam settings. See this unofficial compatibility list for user reported working games. Since it's open-source it's also possible to run outside of Steam.
