Stuck on verifying installation for about 1 hour
Really appreciate your question, @Olivier メ , and the advice @Kyle Gospo/@zany130! I was stuck in the same spot and this got me moving forward a little … it’s still hanging, but at least I know how to get back to the Desktop. 😂
Anyone know if there’s a way that we can get this added to the Wiki/troubleshooting docs?

Install for Windows Games is Greyed Out
In case anyone else is stumped by this, I found a solution on https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8358#; The solution seems to be to go into the game's Properties, click on Compatibility, and then check the box next to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool".
Not sure if there's a way around this to install without having to check this, or if it's really seen as an "issue" or not. On SteamOS this doesn't happen since you can install without first enabling Proton; The game won't work without enabling Proton, though, so it's kind of a moot point. As a bit of feedback, though, it's still strange and confusing to see different behaviour here than there, especially if you're already used to SteamOS' behaviour.
It'd be better user-wise (to idiot-proof it) if Proton could just be enabled by default for any Windows-only games, but I suppose that's something that the team here wouldn't have control over so it kinda is what it is. It would be nice if this was added to a FAQ in case anyone else is more of a Linux Gaming "noob" like me.
