This step may be completely unnecessary, but you may want to complete this step if you don't like interacting with Wine
programs directly as it may feel like you're playing Jenga. This step may have an extra performance hit, as you will
still need to run the Proton version of swift, whilst running the Linux version of swift.
Download the Linux installer from their [GitHub repository](https://github.com/swift-project/pilotclient/releases/latest)
and once it has downloaded, run the installer.
