Steam is a gaming platform, its games can only be played by installing the official Steam client. So first of all you need to have it installed If you dont have it installed yet In this article I explain how to install Steam on Fedora.
Although it is also applicable to CentOS and to almost any distro in the Fedora family, such as Mageia.

Now that we know…simply add: Welcome to FedGamer.net! a site dedicated to Linux gaming whether its Fedora, Debian, or your favorite distro! Lets start the article!

How to install Brick-Force from Steam on Linux

Step 1: Open Steam on your computer and log in to your account:

Step 2: Click on the Steam tab you’ll see at the top left once you’re logged in. When you click it, a list of options will drop down click on Settings or Preferences.

Step 3: When you click on Settings, a window with several options will open on the left the last is Steam Play. Click it and you will see the following:

As you can observe the first checkbox that says Enable Steam Play for supported titles is enabled if it isn’t, enable it. And further down where it says Proton Experimental click there and choose the highest version, that is, the most recent, youll see the first number determines the version and as you can see in this screenshot, were at 7. Finally, check (if it isnt) the checkbox that says: Enable Steam Play for other titles.

Hit OK to confirm. Here is another screenshot:

Note: It’s not recommended to use the experimental version, because it often has bugs as a test version and its best not to use it except if a game doesn’t work as a last resort.

Step 4: Once Proton is enabled, the Steam app may restart automatically. If it doesn’t, close the application and reopen it. When it restarts, Proton packages usually download, and if it doesn’t then, it will in the next step.

Step 5: Go back to the Steam Library, or Library, and there you’ll find your games. Now Windows games should look like this:

In place of this:

In case you didn’t notice the subtle difference now the Install button appears active because it’s available for our Linux OS, in this case Fedora.

Step 6: Press Install. If the packages didn’t download before, it may start downloading Proton now, so be patient. After that, the game will download and install if it doesn’t, click Install again.

And that’s it, you just need to follow the installation instructions you see in Steam. When the window you see here appears, if we choose Create Desktop Shortcut it will create a shortcut, like Firefox or LibreOffice. And if we don’t check that option, we’ll have to open Steam each time we want to start the game (which I find tidier, but it’s a matter of preference).

Step 7: Play!

Is the game Brick-Force compatible with Linux Fedora

One could say yes, using Proton but I must add that it is not ideal in all cases the adaptation of a game originally for Windows to Linux. While it is true that in almost all cases it runs without issues there are sometimes exceptions. Sadly, you cannot know in advance if it will cause an error or not, in my case I never had this issue, but it is a possibility.

To know for sure beforehand, there is a way: consult the community’s experience, namely: what other players have commented. The community has set up a site where users leave their feedback on each game indicating the distro, the hardware, etc. At a glance you can see if someone with your distro, be it Fedora, Ubuntu or any other, had a good or bad experience.

The site Im talking about is ProtonDB and to quickly check if a Windows Steam game works on Linux, the best thing is to look at the rating:

Native: It’s a native Linux game, created specifically for it.
Platinum: Works perfectly on Linux.
Gold: Works very well, with maybe a minor fix easily solvable.
Silver: Works with a minor issue that doesn’t impair gameplay.
Bronze: Works, but sometimes stops or has major errors.
Borked: Doesn’t work: won’t start or crashes too much.

Here’s a screenshot as an example. As you can see, for Resident Evil the category is Platinum:

From Silver to Platinum indicates an excellent compatibility level. Another thing we can do is look at comments from users with the same distro as ours. In any case, you can check the compatibility of Brick-Force on Linux here:
