Steam setup:
1. Set security.bsd.unprivileged_chroot and vfs.usermount sysctls to 1.
2. Add nullfs to kld_list, load it.
3. Create a dedicated FreeBSD non-wheel user account for Steam. Switch to it.
4. Run `/usr/local/steam-utils/bin/lsu-bootstrap` to download the Steam bootstrap executable.
5. Run `steam` to download updates and start Steam.
For the list of tested Linux games see https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils/wiki/Compatibility.
Native Proton setup (optional, semi-experimental):
1. Run `sudo pkg install wine-proton libc6-shim python3`.
2. Run `/usr/local/wine-proton/bin/pkg32.sh install wine-proton mesa-dri`.
3. In Steam install the matching Proton version (appid 2348590 for 8.0, 2805730 for 9.0, etc).
To enable it right click a game title in Steam, click Properties,
click Compatibility, select "FreeBSD Wine (emulators/wine-proton)".
