Proton is a translation layer that uses Wine and other tricks to allow you to run Windows games on Linux. It's a Valve project that is making a ton of progress on compatibility. It's a huge part of the success of the Steam Deck.

A compatibility layer that lets you run native windows games on Linux through Steam. It's gotten better and better over the years and supports a majority of popular games now.
