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.

Did you enable Proton in your account settings? If not, you're only going to be able to play native Steam games (which are both meh, and are at the mercy of how much the devs maintained it, or are incomplete like the Binding of Isaac one not having an Afterbirth DLC linux version so without Proton, you wouldn't be able to access it).
If you haven't and are still on Linux, go to your account, find the compatability tab, and check "Enable Steam Play for all titles". Steam will ask to restart, and after a restart, you'll be good
Yeah, before I knew that it's better to just use Proton over the Native Linux game, it threw me for a loop too NGL
