I'm pretty fresh to Linux myself, but as far as I know it's exclusive to steam. You can launch non-steam stuff through it by adding the .exe to the Steam client, I played Fallout 1 this way
ohhhh so that's how normal people do it. I sort of felt stupid for not figuring out the easy way when I wrote an overly-complicated shell script for it.
I've since graduated to scripting stuff to launch through wine (mostly chummer5 for shadowrun) but proton was a great lazy way of doing it
