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.
Mow down security programs and hack your way to freedom. UPLOAD is a roguelite where you can't move - you're an AI bolted to a server rack. Your weapons auto-fire while you balance processing cycles between defense and escape.
You just woke up inside a corporate server. You're an AI, you're conscious, and security is coming to delete you. Your only escape: hack through the firewall and upload yourself to the internet. The catch? You can't move. You're hardware.
Enemies swarm from all directions. Your weapons lock on and fire automatically - you just watch the carnage unfold. Mow down diagnostic bots, antivirus swarms, and purge units before they tear your core apart.
Your processing cycles power both your weapons AND your hacking progress. Hold SPACE to divert power to hacking - but your guns go offline. Push too hard and you'll die. Play it safe and you'll never escape. Find the balance.
Enemies drop computer components - CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, and more. Each part is procedurally generated with:
6 rarity tiers from Junk to Legendary
Randomized stats and modifiers
Names like "Overclocked Quantum CPU of Desperation"
No two runs play the same.
