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.

PACT is a tool that allows you to section different programs in to different cores/threads on your CPU automagically.

PACT is an open-source tool that allows you to run different programs in different cores of your CPU automagically.

Here is a quick list of it's current features:

• Automatically assign processes to threads/cores set by you.
  
• Automatically detect games launched by Steam and others.
  
• Minimize to System Tray (Windows).
  
• Show you a basic overview of your system load.
  
• Backup, Export, Import your configurations.

PACT is ready to go in three easy steps:

• You pick your default cores where most of your programs will run.
  
• You pick your high-performance cores where you want your high-performance programs to run.
  
• You designate programs or let PACT do it automatically for Steam games and other launchers.

For special occasions you can choose to tag some program as "Custom Performance" with a configuration just for that program, exempt from the High Performance and Default configurations.

There is also a blacklist option, to ignore processes that don't play nice with PACT.

Software by the people, for the people.

PACT is open-source and the community is welcome to make suggestions, file for bugs or contribute to the project.
You can visit the website on the side, that will take you to the repository of the project.

Disclaimers:

PACT is a powerful tool that does not limit you.
It allows you to set priorities and affinities as you will.
If configured wrong, it can lead to worse performance, use it's advanced features with caution.

PACT offers performance gains by automating things already present on your system, primarily the process priority and affinity controls found in the task manager.

Processes that run at the SYSTEM level or KERNEL level may or may not be accessible to PACT, this can include Easy Anti Cheat.
