It is, and as usual, thanks to the rpmfusion folks! The reason why I
tried this outside of Fedora first is that steam is part of the
nonfree repo and as I said in my previous email I can't run non-Steam
programs via Steam Play, so I need to run Proton directly.

Installing steam from rpmfusion wouldn't help unfortunately.

I don't know how to build Proton and the people who reported Proton works for them on Fedora are simply referring to the bundled Proton in Steam installation, I believe. However, it should be possible to use Steam-bundled Proton to run arbitrary Windows executables, not just those provided by Steam, if you don't mind some tinkering:

I haven't personally tried that.
