The Talos Principal 2 demo is available in Steam now, the full game comes out in November.

But since the games is officially Windows only, it won't let me download/install the demo (because linux).
Why Steam?!?? You're going to let me use Proton to play the full game sp why not allow the demo to run the same way?
If anyone knows a work-around I'd be very happy.
EDIT: The suggestion by @ECCTM worked very well and I've started playing the demo. It "just worked".
SECOND EDIT: I started a new Community for discussing the whole Talos Principle series, for anyone interested.
I can't help you with the topic at hand, but consider posting your experience here: https://www.protondb.com/app/835960?device=any
It is a huge database for all games available on steam. So far, no one has made any reviews, but if you get it working, please write there how (you can include --start-options, drivers, distro etc.). Even if it is not working, write that and what you tried already. This way other people can spend more time on trying to get it working without doing the same steps all over again.
Also, it might be worth checking out in a few days when more people have added their workarounds and comments. Usually, this takes 1-2 weeks.
Hey, so the game is installed and I just played through some of the demo. And I posted on ProtonDB but it seems the post will take some time before it appears there. Cheers!
Thank you so much! We Linux gamers have to stick together!!
