In this video I cover a method of installing and playing Age of Empires IV on Linux using Steam Proton.
Step 1. Install Steam.
Install Steam using your distribution's package manager either with a GUI software store or Terminal.
For example, on Ubuntu the following Terminal command will install Steam.
sudo apt install steam
Once Steam is installed, launch it, apply the update, and sign into your account.
Step 2. Enable Proton.
By default Proton will not be enabled for your entire Steam library.
So, navigate to Steam / Settings / Steam Play and tick the "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" option which should select Proton Experimental as the default option.
Click OK, and restart Steam to apply.
Step 3. Install Age of Empires IV.
Install the game as normal, and launch.
