From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

it flat-out refused to run on my debian system last night. whined about being for some other system or something. :(
Okay, I remember. It's not as easy as clicking "install". I had to add the game to my library and then click on the game in the library and there the gear icon. Then "Properties..."->"Compatibility"-> and then check "Force use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and then use "Proton Experimental", its the default and for me always worked.
