This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.

1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.

2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.

3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.

4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

How to Win is an anarchic adventure/gaming experiment where players decide the rules. Whatever you decide, that’s what happens next in our story. No matter what chaos it creates. Play through all 5 chapters of Season 1, then send us your ideas for Season 2!

How to Win is an anarchic adventure/gaming experiment where anyone who plays can decide the rules of the world, and which direction our story goes.

In the summer of 2020, multi-award winning interactive theatre company Hidden Track teamed with indie game dev Cael O'Sullivan for their first ever gaming experiment. We asked our players what the rules of our game should be, and if they could imagine a world in which everyone could win.
We were given hundreds of suggestions and ideas, and we put the best ones to a public vote.

Whatever they decided, WHATEVER it was, that was the world we made next.

Winning suggestions included:

• Make the Most Money in the World
  
• Invest all our money in a potato-based pyramid scheme.
  
• Slay the Billionaire Dragon
  
• Brand new character: The Great Elephant of the North
  
• Brand new character: A monster drawn by a 5-year-old
  
• RAISE THE KRAKEN
  
• stealth ninja style
  
• Take over the media and spread propaganda.
  
• Run away and join the circus.

The result was… chaos.

Now, all 5 chapters of Season 1 have been compiled and remastered on Steam, along with new functionality and brand new content.
Explore the world we made, find out how it ended, then tell us what to do different.
Whatever you decide, that’s what happens next.

“A cleverly subversive pantomime that plays with the conventions of gaming and theatre.”

“How to Win is a game that deals with… uhh, **** how do I explain this. ****.”
