You can use Lutris. But if you don't want to go that way, you can simply use proton directly.
I have a script that I use on my linux machine that automatically detects an "exe" file in the same directory and runs it via proton. With that I've been able to play non-steam games easily enough.
There are plenty of tutorials online on how to run proton via CLI, here's one
EDIT: As @nottheengineer@feddit.de said, you can also add exe files to Steam and have it run that way. Its probably the easier way compared to running it via terminal
I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to run proton outside of steam. You can try using something like wine-ge instead with basically exact same results though
Yup. GloriousEggroll, the developer of proton-ge and wine-ge says to use proton for steam games and wine-ge for everything else.
