Valve released tonight a new Steam client beta that includes some notable improvements for Linux users.

Most notably, today's Steam beta update now will default to using Proton for Windows binaries that are registered as non-Steam games. Running by Proton by default should ultimately yield a better user experience.

For Linux gamers the new beta also fixes an issue where non-Steam games would fail to launch when changing the target binary via the browse button.

    This might be a dumb question, but how does one install games made for windows before adding them to the library as Non-Steam games? Wine?

    I don't know why the defaults was not there since the birth of proton integration into steam.
