Using proton for pirated games on linux? (lemmy.world)

Sure, finding games on the high seas is easy enough on my windows machine, but if I'm on my linux partition and want to play a game that would otherwise work if I bought it in Steam with proton, how would I go about getting the game to run?

I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to run proton outside of steam. You can try using something like wine-ge instead with basically exact same results though

Yup. GloriousEggroll, the developer of proton-ge and wine-ge says to use proton for steam games and wine-ge for everything else.
