With Steam Play enabled, the Install button should now be enabled. Click it. Once this is done, you can now start OpenRCT2. If asked to provide the location of the files, select ``I have already installed RollerCoaster Tycoon 2``. A directory browser will now open. Point it to ``/home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rollercoaster Tycoon 2``.

lists:
/home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rollercoaster Tycoon 2
as the path, whereas the path on my system is:
/home/<username>/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Rollercoaster Tycoon 2

Should the latter be added as an alternative suggestion?
I'm a bit of a linux noob, so I don't know if I have an unusual setup, but I thought I should mention it as this was the (only! 🎉 ) bit of the installation that threw me a little.

Thank you all for making such clear and useful docs! ❤️

Yes, this sounds like a good idea. Your setup is hardly unusual. Happy to hear that the guide was otherwise clear.

If this is something you want to pick up: I would suggest rewriting the text a bit and making a list of the possible paths - this in order to keep things as clear as possible.
