In this article I will to explain without complications and in detailed steps how to install the program Dungeons 2 from Steam on a PC with Linux, especially Fedora, although it is also applicable to other distros such as Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE or Manjaro (some of the most popular).
Some very popular Linux distros:
 Ubuntu |

 Arch Linux |
 OpenSUSE |
 Manjaro |
Steam is a gaming platform, its games can only be played by installing the official Steam program. Thus first of all you need to have it installed If you dont have it installed 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.
Valve, Steams parent company, has made use of Wine to develop its own version adding its own libraries and thus giving birth to Proton. Which we will see in the Steam app under the name Steam Play. Thanks to this thousands of games that are Windows-only become available for Linux both on Fedora and CentOS, Mageia, Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Arch, Manjaro, etc. And one of those games you can now play on Linux is Dungeons 2.
Now that we know…just to say: Welcome to FedGamer.net! a site dedicated to Linux gaming whether its Fedora, Debian, or your favorite distro! Lets begin the journey!
How to install Dungeons 2 from Steam on Linux
Step 1: Open Steam on your PC and log in with your user: 
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 see the first checkbox that says Enable Steam Play for supported titles is enabled if it isn’t, click to enable it. And at the bottom where it indicates Proton Experimental click there and choose the highest version, that is, the most recent, note the first number as youll notice in the screenshot, at the time of making this tutorial were on 7. Finally, check (if it isnt) the checkbox that says: Enable Steam Play for other titles.
Lastly click OK. Here is another screenshot:
Note: Dont use the experimental version, because although it’s the newest, being experimental it can contain bugs and its best not to use it except if a game doesn’t work as a last resort.
Step 4: With Proton enabled, Steam may restart on its own. If it doesn’t, close the application and reopen it. When it restarts, it usually loads the Proton packages, but if it doesn’t happen now, it will in the next step.
Step 5: Go back to the Steam Library, or Library, and there you’ll see your games. Now the titles originally for Windows will display like this:
In place of this:
In case you didn’t notice the subtle difference now the Install button is blue because it’s available for our Linux distro, in this case Fedora.
Step 6: Click 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.
At this point we’re almost done, 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 Dungeons 2 compatible with Linux
One could say yes, thanks to Proton but I must say that it is not ideal in all cases the conversion of a video game originally for Windows to Linux. So although in almost all cases it runs without issues there will also be exceptions in some cases. Sadly, you cannot know in advance if it will cause an error or not, in my case I never had this issue, but it could happen.
To make sure before installing, there is a way: resort to the community, that is, other users experience. 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 page Im referring to 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:
Logically, from Silver up means the game will run quite well or even perfectly. 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 Dungeons 2 on Linux here:
