The situation outside steam is sadly still pretty bad.
Imagine you buy most of your games on DRM free platforms and they hardly even install on any gaming focused distribution.

As well as "game libraries": Lutris, Bottles, Heroic
Personally I use this alias to launch an exe via proton:
alias proton='SteamGameId="${SteamGameId-1000}" PROTON_USE_WINESYNC=1 STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$PWD" STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=$HOME/proton /usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton-cachyos/proton waitforexitandrun'
# cd /gamepath
# proton Game.exe
