Is really just:

  1. Install any Linux Distro
  2. See if you have the drivers for your hardware already installed
  3. Install Steam
  4. Change the setting for Enable Steam Play on Steam
  5. Download the game and play it.

Of course, like in windows, something could go wrong and you need to tinker a little bit to fix it but for the vast majority is just like that.

Just adding: if you have an AMD GPU, the drivers are now included in the Linux kernel, so there is no manual install needed for those. For nvidia, you do still have to jump through some install hoops.
