i've had success using steamcmd to make the client download things on unsupported platforms (specifically: rct2 on mac so that i can load it into openrct2). dumb as hell that it's not Actually Supported but hopefully that workaround works.

if you go into Steam Settings > Steam Play > "Enable Steam Play for all other titles", it should let you select a version of Proton to use by default for non-linux games, including demos (i'm pretty sure)!!
