Some very popular Linux distros:

Steam is a gaming platform, its games can only be used by installing the official Steam client. Therefore the first thing is 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.
Valve, the company behind Steam, has made use of Wine to develop its own version combining it with its own tools 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 for Windows can now be used on 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 Tricolour Lovestory.
That said…just to say: Welcome to FedGamer.net! the site dedicated to gaming on Fedora. Lets begin the journey!
How to install Tricolour Lovestory 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 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 select the latest version, youll see the first number determines the version 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.
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, 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 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 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 with this the tutorial is practically finished, 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 Tricolour Lovestory compatible with Linux Fedora
In principle 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 experience it normally doesn’t, I never had that problem, but it is a possibility.
To know for sure beforehand, there is a way: consult the community’s experience, that is, other users experience. The community has set up a site where they share their experience with 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 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:
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 Tricolour Lovestory on Linux here:
