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.
Stop the Blight is a tower defense roguelite with powerful spells and destructible voxel terrain. Build your defenses, reshape the land, and wield elemental power to uncover the truth behind the Blight.
A tower defense roguelite where the battlefield is yours to shape.
An ancient evil has awakened, and the Blight is spreading across the land. As a Guardian of the Arcanum, you wield the only weapon capable of pushing it back. In a desperate last stand, defend the realm by building towers, casting powerful spells, reshaping the terrain—and stop the Blight at its source.
The terrain is yours to command. Raise, lower, or level voxel ground to create walls, carve out chokepoints, and claim the high ground. Shape the battlefield to control enemy movement and build your ideal defenses—but stay alert. The Blight spreads, enemies adapt, and your carefully constructed defenses won’t last forever.
The Blight spreads like a living corruption, creeping across the battlefield and damaging any towers it overtakes. Some enemies spread it as they move—or even upon death—forcing you to constantly adapt. Clear infected ground and hold your territory, or risk being consumed by the Blight itself.
Discover elemental runes that enhance your towers and spells. Runes come in different rarities, applying effects like Burn, Slow, Poison, and Mark—or boosting stats like damage, range, and health. Mix and match to unlock powerful synergies and shape your strategy each run.
Each mission is procedurally generated, offering new terrain layouts, enemy combinations, and challenges every time you play. One map might give you natural choke points and high ground—another might force you to carve out your own. As the Blight spreads and enemies adapt, no two battles feel the same.
Even in defeat, your progress carries forward. Collect Arcane Shards to unlock permanent upgrades that enhance your Core, strengthen towers, improve spellcasting, and tilt luck in your favor. Start each run a little stronger—whether that means more health, better runes, or a second chance when things go wrong. Choose how you grow, and slowly turn the tide against the Blight.
