Description

It's a low priority request:
I wish that the wiki could add more information about the package dependency for compilation and for usage (as in when using in steam) since there are two ways to require this project.

The name and reference to the libraries/package to be able to read about them etc, this makes it agnostic to distribution.

On a side note, add general information about how to troubleshoot yourself (guides to read certain logs, certain output by terminal etc) so I basically refer this piece of information everytime I see someone ask for help about Proton.

Research direction

Start with the Proton wiki and determine where package dependencies for compilation and usage should be documented. Define the required library references and troubleshooting guidance, including which logs and terminal output users should inspect; the work is done when both topics are covered in a reusable help page.
