[Linux] Enable BattlEye Proton Support
For those unaware, BattlEye has recently announced that they are added support for Steam's Proton Linux compatibility layer. This allows Linux users to play some Windows games on Linux. At the moment, playing Destiny 2 is not possible as the anti-cheat gets flagged.
This new added support for Proton is on an op-in basis, and as far as I'm aware, it is simple to opt-in.

2 Replies+1, it should just be a simple email to BattlEye and support is enabled. I wouldn't have a problem with Bungie if the game were just broken even with Proton/BattlEye runtime, but because (or so I've heard) the game ran fine via Wine back on BattleNet, it really shouldn't have a problem running on Linux. I think that this just boils down to the fact that there is a stereotype around Linux being that "It's only for hackers" and "It's only for developers" which is making Bungie paranoid that enabling it would bring more cheaters to the game, even though Linux doesn't enable anything more that Windows does. Anyways, we can only hope. Bungie has made it clear that they don't care about Linux users, as is evident in their responses to posts boiling down to: "Use Windows".
