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 (head to the Steam Play options of your Steam Client and you'll be able to enable it for all games.). See this unofficial compatibility list for user reported working games.
