Method 1: Install Steam Games Using Proton:
Enabling the Proton
1. Open the Steam app from the app menu.
2. In the top left corner of the steam app, click on settings. 
3. Now in the popup steam settings window, look for the steam play and click on it. 
4. You have to enable the option called Enable the Steam Play for supported titles and Play for all other title options.
5. Now you can start playing Forza Horizon 5 windows games on Linux.
If you have bought the games from Epic games or any other platform, then you can also play the Forza Horizon 5 non-steam games on your Linux PC. To enjoy Forza Horizon 5 nonsteam games on your Linux, simply follow the next method.
Play Non-Steam Games using Proton:
Yes, you can now play nonsteam games on your Linux. The steam app allows you to add the non-steam games to the Steam library, to do that, simply open the Steam app -> Add Games -> Add a Non Steam game > Now look for the games.exe folder and add the selected game program.
Method 2: Install Steam on Your Linux PC
Just like other applications, you need to install Steam on your Linux PC by opening the terminal window. In order to launch the terminal window press together: Ctrl + Alt + T
Either way, you can search “Terminal” in the app menu. However, with different versions of Linux, you may need to take care of installation codes. Below we have discussed all the codes for installing Steam on your Linux PC. Only use the code which suits your version of Linux.
For Ubuntu
You can install the Steam client on your Ubuntu distro of Linux using the universal Apt install command. Below is the actual code.
sudo apt install steam
For Debian
The Valve app suits best for Steam installation in Debian. So it would be best for you to get the official Steam client from Valve’s official website. However, you may need to download several packages before you are good to go.
As you already know, while using Linux, it is best to use the terminal instead of dealing with direct websites. So we will follow the same approach here using the wget command.
Here’s the full command:
wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb
Once you have finished downloading the aforementioned software, you will need to install the latest Steam client on your Debian PC.
Here’s the command to install the latest Steam client:
sudo dpkg -i steam.deb
Once everything’s in place, you may need to check for dependency issues. Here’s the command to check for that:
sudo apt-get install -f
For Arch Linux
For installing the Steam client on Arch Linux, you will have to enable “multilib” in the software repository. Since the repository already has the Steam app, it won’t work without it.
You will have to edit /etc/pacman.conf file on your PC and enable the “multilib” in the software repository to get that working.
Once you have enabled repo, you will have to re-sync pacman with respect to the repo servers. For doing that, here’s the command:
sudo pacman -Syy
Now you are ready to install Steam using the below command:
sudo pacman -S steam
For Flatpack, OpenSUSE, and Fedora
All the three Distros of Linux, namely Flatpack, OpenSUSE, and Fedora have Steam packages available in the software repositories. So you can easily use them for installing the Steam client on your PC.
Nevertheless, we recommend using the Flatpack version of Steam because it performs on par with the operating systems.
To get the Flatpack package up and running on your PC, you will need to use another command. Depending on your distro of Linux, here are the commands:
Fedora:
sudo dnf install flatpak
OpenSUSE:
sudo zypper install flatpak
Once you complete this, you will have to use the remote-add command in order to add the Flathub app store to your system. Here’s the command to do that:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Now install the Steam client using flathub using this command:
flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam
That’s it. Now you are good to go playing your favorite games using Steam. However, before you start playing there are some other crucial elements and steps that you need to follow. But don’t worry, we have got them covered as well.
