Steam Client Now Enables Proton by Default for Games without Native Linux Builds
Valve released a new stable Steam Client update on June 30th, 2025, to further improve gaming on Linux for games without native Linux builds.
You're viewing a single thread.
I wonder if it will default to Proton-GE or smth, if you install it before you open steam?
You set the version in compatibility options (per Steam, not per game).
Unless they changed something, it won't automatically update GE-Proton though like it does Proton Experimental.
Oh ok, thank you.
I mean, you can* absolutely also set it per game. I only switch over to GE-Proton if there's an issue with a specific game.
You can set the compatibility for all games in the Steam settings. One of the options is "Proton Experimental" which updates automatically and will use the newest version without having to manually select it each time.
That's what I'd like for GE-Proton.
