I am new to linux, and that may be the major reason.
I'm running steam in a debian 9, have updated to beta version and turned on steam play settings. At the first try after downloading ESO i've tried to just click play button and it showed "running" for a brief moment and then it was gone. So i've tried to build proton myself following [1]this instructions but ended up with an error [2]that i couldn't solve yet . So i've tried to run it again with PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 mesa_glthread=true vblank_mode=0 launch options and no success. I don't know what to do now and thats why im posting here to see if anyone can help or knows what to do.
I appreciate any help and many thanks in advance.

Proton can produced debug logs if you turn them on:
[1]https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Proton-FAQ
Check this site for compatibility and tips:

For each entry on that list, there's usually a link to the Proton issues on GitHub which sometimes has posts regarding workarounds.
Make sure you have Vulkan installed! Type vulkaninfo to confirm

Have you tried another game to confirm whether it's a problem with just ESO, or a problem with Proton in general? Bejeweled 2 Deluxe has a free trial that works well in Proton. Also try restarting the Steam client if you haven't.

Try installing Python 2.7.
NoXPhasma
Python 2.7 isn't needed anymore. [1]That was fixed in Proton 3.7-5 .

Its installed :/

Then I'm not sure. You seem to have things set up correctly.
However, I'm using Xubuntu and not Debian. Valve recommends Ubuntu by the way.
ImpersonalComputer
Ubuntu is based on Debian. Ubuntu derives its packages from Debian Unstable.
aaronfranke
What's your point? Ubuntu may have things that Steam Play needs and isn't installed by default.

You might want to post in [1]SteamPlay
I'm not totally sure because I've never built proton
I wish there was a debug like in PlayOnLinux so we can see what is going on
