I always had trouble getting that working on Ubuntu. Appreciate the work!
I think Steam did this one.
And I actually do not like it.
It used to be that I could easily see which titles were set for proton use at a glance. Now, I must delve into the files to know.
Hmm... I suppose that could be a issue for some... Personally I just want it to work, doesn't matter to me whether native or not. Most of the games in my library were Windows games so for me it's a win...
Yeah, this was a change to the Steam client rather than anything Zorin did. Previously, there was an option under Settings > Compatibility that would toggle whether or not Steam was to attempt to use Proton for all games. In June, that setting was removed, and switched to default on, but a dropdown still exists to allow the user to select which version of Proton Steam will try to use if the user hasn't set one on a per title basis. As such, @Aravisian, you shouldn't need to delve into files--if you haven't set a version of Proton for a given title, it should be using what's in that drop down.
That said, if you want a proper view, both of the tools most commonly used for installing alternate runners, ProtonUp-Qt and ProtonPlus, feature convenient at-a-glance controls:
Anything blank in ProtonUp-Qt's UI or undefined in ProtonPlus's is going to use whatever is set on the compatibility settings menu in Steam. Both of these tools are available in the software store, but both are only available as Flatpaks there. ProtonUp-Qt at least is available as an AppImage as well on its homepage.
Edit: In the case of titles with a native Linux version and a Windows version, setting a version of Proton per-title will cause it to use the Windows version with Proton. Not setting a per-title version of Proton should leave it running natively.

Well...
I may have been commenting dramatically...
Thats how I'd feel, if I was working in the Black Mesa facility, in the 1990's. Your just trying to do your job, the new guy Gordan Freeman is just coming off the train, your at the reception desk, and your computer has gone BSOD on you. Where did the files go, oh no!
Those were the days, your computer had a bit flip, you rammed your ROM, your computer ate the floppy, when it had a proper fit. Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again? I think were beyond that at this point.
