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.

A 3D idle farming game for VR that uses a portal to allow users to see and interact with the scene presented inside of it, while inside of any other VR game

Portable Farm is a new type of SteamVR overlay that displays 3D objects and scenes through a two-dimensional portal, allowing users to reach inside and interact with objects on another dimension, on top of their normal VR experience. Meaning; idle games and other such concepts are now possible within VR!

***NOTE: Due to the nature of this application running alongside VR games, it has a problem with CPU bottlenecking in some systems, it's recommended for users to try out the demo provided, to gauge if their system can handle running this application and their VR games at the same time***

Water your crops, till the ground, and plant your choice of seeds to go from humble beginnings to a fully decorated and upgraded farm! Chat with your friends in social games while caring for your crops, take a break from the action in intense games for some farming, or simply make that loading screen feel a bit faster with something to do.

Enjoy your farm in a variety of games and experiences, and take it with you anywhere!

Time passes in the farm even when you're not looking at it, making it perfect for touch-and-go management, and over time the seasons will change and more crops will be available, maybe even some new decorations to be found!

Key features:

-Reposition and resize the portal to any location for maximum convenience, as well as options for customized comfort
-Simple interaction with all elements using one configurable grip button
-Upgrades that make farming easier and more profitable
-Decorations to customize your farm however you like
-Seasons change at the start of each month, changing how land looks
-Seasonal crops provide a large variety of choices in what to plant
-Passive growing of the plants allows crops to grow while users are away
-Fertilize your ground, or plant some clover, to help you plants grow faster, and prevent the soil from drying out quickly
-Bring the farm into any VR game using a unique gesture to open and close the portal, allowing users to not have to worry about the controls interfering with their main VR game

FAQ

• I started the application but I can't see the portal?

  This can happen with some setups involving space movers, go to the desktop UI and click the "Recenter Portal" button, then grab the portal to see through it while moving it around, if the farming terrain is not nearby, then click the "Recenter Player" button which will move the player in front of the farming terrain. If the portal still doesn't show up, try a restart of the app, if this doesn't work, the last rare occurrence was when the app couldn't recognize the SteamVR program, which was solved by re-installing SteamVR.
  

• I don't like having to reposition the portal every time I move while it's closed

  There is an option on the UI of the game that allows you to have the portal follow your location and/or your rotation while it it closed, making it stay in the same place relative to you from when you closed it, so all you have to do is close the portal when it's at a comfortable position and that will be restored relative to you, no matter where you move while the portal is closed.
  

• My crops aren't growing!

  It could be that you planted crops from another season, which won't grow during the wrong season, unless the block they are planted on has been upgraded to override that. Check the shop's bottom shelf to see what crops can grow when.
  

• I can't buy anything from the seed shop because I have no money left!

  You only start out with 20 money, so you can usually only buy 1-2 seeds to start out. If you end up in a place where you have no more money for seeds from the shop, no crops growing and nothing to return to the shop that would give you money back, within 60 seconds the game should check that you're at a dead-end and will restore your money count to 20.
  

• I skipped the tutorial, can't get the gesture to work, or forgot how the gesture works!

  If you can't remember the gesture or want to see the tutorial again, pressing F3 on the desktop UI and then pressing the "Show tutorial again" button will run through the tutorial again, showing off the gesture with rotational axis labelled. If the gesture is too hard, or you can't twist your hands fast enough, you can lower the slider value on the lower left of the UI, which should make the gesture much easier to trigger
  

• Can other people in the game see the farm?

  Unfortunately no, they will simply see you doing motions with your arms on invisible objects, much like how people in real life perceive what people in VR are doing.
  

• How do I reach the back of the farm easier? How do I move the farm terrain to a better position for me?

  The desktop UI has settings for this such as enabling temporary shift handles on the terrain, allowing users to grab and pull them to move the terrain around, as well as other options like enabling a world grab anchor, which allows players to move the portal and the terrain around simultaneously to a better place in their play area. Other options including following the player while the portal is closed, for those ever-moving players who don't want the portal to stay in a specific spot in their playspace.
