Steam's latest beta build makes gaming on Linux a breeze by enabling Proton for all titles by default
Whilst you can still set a specific Proton version per title, for example maybe you want to use Proton GE, this default seems to default to Proton Experimental (from what I observed). This means all Windows games will now show as installable by default.
I inadvertently tried this out about 2 days back when I installed Ships at Sea and just hit the install button. I thought it was odd at the time, as I had not set any Proton version for compatibility.
Proton Experimental version is not the most stable version as it includes the latest compatibility patches, but I suppose what is nice about it, is firstly it will be the most compatible for most games, and you won't get left stuck on an older version of Proton either, as the experimental version is not fixed by any version number (it's a sort of rolling update).
