With more graphics libs, the goal is to make gaming flawless on any platform. Of the listed games that are confirmed to work, there are some huge names that are incredibly graphically demanding, such as NieR:Automata, and Beat Saber (a VR game).
How do you use it? Install Steam, opt into Steam Client Beta, update your drivers if needed, and then start playing. Proton is already integrated into the Steam Client's beta, so there's no extra work needed.

This sounds great! I have a slew (including my all time favorite (Heroes of Might and Magic)) that I haven't been able to play since I totally left MS windows behind. I'll try this!
