You click the game on Steam, click "install". That's the same on Windows or Linux, the client doesn't change.

Going from 144fps to 2fps sounds like a graphics driver issue, what was the problem then?

Incorrect again.

I don’t know. The “that’s the story of the time I tried to play games on Linux” indicates that I, and most every other user, doesn’t care enough to spend all day burrowing through search engines and support threads to figure out how to just make the thing work.

That’s why the Steam Deck, and SteamOS, exists.

  uh... ok. It really is that simple, I play games everyday on Linux and that is exactly how I've installed 100s of games, so I'm really not getting it... Are you talking about enabling Steam Play in the Steam settings or something?

  I don't know why you are telling me this, I'm not the King of Linux or anything. Just thought I might help you with your problem, I don't know what I did for you to unload all this on me lol

    As a reminder: the topic of discussion is the different between SteamOS and any other OS + Steam.

    Ah, I wasn't the original person you replied to sorry. If it isn't Nobara or Bazzite, chances are most distros will require tweaking to get gaming to an acceptable level.

  Incorrect again. If you try to do that on a non-Linux game, Steam just acts like it’s incompatible and the install button is greyed out without any indication of anything to do with Proton or how to make it work.
  
  Then you disabled Steam Play.
