Hey there, I guess people on this forum might find my tool interesting :)

[url=https://github.com/dreamer/steam-dos]steam-dos[/url] - it's a compatibility tool to run DOS games on Steam through native Linux DOSBox version. After installation, it can be selected instead of Proton straight in the Steam interface:

Compared to normal DOSBox, it provides several improvements, such as:
[list]
[*] DOSBox version in Linux distro is most likely newer than the one bundled with the game (you can also select your own DOSBox build for all games)
[*] Starts software MIDI synthesiser automatically (+automatic MIDI port configuration)
[*] Better support for fullscreen out of the box (especially for multi-monitor setups)
[*] Works with Steam Overlay properly
[*] No input lag compared to DOSBox running inside Proton
[*] … and other tiny fixes and improvements compared to vanilla experience
[/list]

There's also a script to install DOS games from GOG, that works around Steam bugs.
