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.

Standard 3-card draw Klondike. But with a zillion gizmos to make it tedium-free. If its mundane, the app does it for you! You are just left with the fun stuff. This may be the most advanced solitaire game ever.

I'm a solitaire nut. But I have always hated the Klondike implementations that have been available. Why should I have to click the HINT button to see all of the available moves? Why should I have to keep hitting the DRAW button to see the next triplet from the Talon?

So, about 15 years ago when I retired from Boeing Computing, I decided to fix these deficiencies and coded my first Klondike. It had all available moves pre-calculated and shown as buttons. Press the button and the move is carried out. It had the entire Talon shown at once (again, with move buttons).

And over the years, as I played my new Klondike, I kept thinking of other things that would be nice to have (without changing the rules). And I added them. Like:

Stacking Maps - showing all 52 cards in stacking order (red on black) showing where each card is and whether it's theoretically playable.

Build Maps - one for each suit in build-order, showing each card is and whether it's theoretically build-able.

The Talon-Lookahead - I can see the entire Talon at once. As I play cards from the Talon, why not see the Talon as it will be the next time thru? So this Klondike has a second view of the Talon, the Lookahead-Talon. Available moves are calculated for both of them and you can even play directly from the Lookahead (which of course causes the Lookahead to become the Talon and a new Lookahead to be computed).

Connector-Cards - The main thrust of Klondike is moving cards so that a downcard is exposed for a flip. Why not have the Klondike programing figure out all of the theoretical opportunities for exposing downcards and display which cards (Connector-Cards) need to be moved in order to do it? So this Klondike calculates all Connector-Cards and hilites them in yellow on the Stacking Maps and the Build Maps.

The Have-We-Lost Algorithm - If a game becomes theoretically impossible to win, I want to know right away, so I can resign and go on to a deal that isn't theoretically impossible. (Life is short!) It took me three years of development, but this Klondike's Have-We-Lost Algorithm is killer.

So what do all of these improvements do to the game?

Well, the rules are still exactly the same. And Klondike's anti-anxiety properties are still there. But with all of the added visibility, you can really see what's going on. So the game becomes more of a puzzle-to-be-solved. And it allows for some strategies that you never even thought of before. And it is way, way more fun!

So, I'm thinking that there must be some other Klondike nuts out there who will enjoy this re-imagined Klondike as much as I do.
