Steam is a gaming platform, its games can only be used by installing the official Steam program. So 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 virtually all distributions in the Fedora family, such as Mageia.

Now that we know…all thats left 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 LEGO® Marvel™ Super Heroes from Steam on Linux

Step 1: Launch the Steam application on your machine 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 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 it and select the latest version, 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.

Finally click the OK button. Attached here is another screenshot:

Note: Do not select 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: Once Proton is enabled, the Steam app may restart automatically. If it doesn’t happen, close it and open it again. When it restarts, Proton packages usually download, 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 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. It may download Proton at this point, 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 steps Steam gives you. When the box shown in the next screenshot 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 LEGO® Marvel™ Super Heroes compatible with Linux Fedora

One could say yes, using Proton but I must add that it is not always perfect the adaptation of a 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 experience it normally doesn’t, I never had that problem, but it is a possibility.

To make sure before installing, there is a way: consult the community’s experience, that is, other users experience. The community has organized on a site where users leave their feedback on each game mentioning their OS, hardware components, 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 LEGO® Marvel™ Super Heroes on Linux here:
