I know this question was asked already, but the answer did not help me. I installled play on linux and windows steam, in ubuntu 16.04 and after applying the windows xp settings, wine staging, and no-cef-sandbox, i can download games from my libreary, but not access any thing else in steam, perticularly anything under the store community and username tabs.

EDIT 11-Apr-2020: This answer is no longer valid for Steam for Windows running in Linux. You can try the command wine steam.exe -no-browser +open steam://open/minigameslist but I haven't had big success with Steam + Wine much lately.
Let me try to do this the best I can for the library to work in Steam.
First get the newest versions of wine installed:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable
After that is installed and configured, then run your PlayOnLinux and configure your Steam:
Configure General settings. I had to add 3.9 to mine. You can try different versions to see what works for you):
To add the 3.9 click the + on the right of the Wine version box and choose 3.9 on the left side then click the > to add it to the right:
Click on Configure wine to set it to Windows XP:
Click on the Install Components tab and install the following listed below the image:
d3dx9_42
vcrun2008
xact
vcrun2015 (if not available choose vcrun2013)
You can also install using winetricks like so:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Steam sh /usr/bin/winetricks d3dx9_42 vcrun2008 vcrun2015 xact
Please keep in mind on the above command that vcrun2015 may not exist and you can substitute vcrun2013 in its place. Also change the .PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Steam to match your installation.
When complete, launch your Steam:
