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 dark fantasy adventure where forging steel shapes combat, progression, and fate.
Blades of Fire is a dark fantasy adventure built on a single, uncompromising idea:
Steel is Destiny.
You are Aran de Lira, the last warrior capable of forging true steel in a world where metal turns to stone. Your journey is not about collecting weapons, but about forging them through intent, sacrifice, and consequence, and surviving long enough to master their weight.
Combat is deliberate and unforgiving. Every strike commits you. Every mistake costs you. Victory is earned through patience, positioning, and understanding both your enemy and the blade you forged to face them.
The Steam release includes Version 2.0 of the game, featuring major updates and improvements, plus the Adventurer Pack, the Artbook, and the award-winning original soundtrack by Óscar Araujo.
FORGE STEEL. SHAPE YOUR FATE.
At the heart of Blades of Fire lies a forging system that is not crafting — it is commitment.
Weapons are forged at the anvil through deliberate choices that permanently shape their behaviour, balance, and purpose. There is no endless loot. No disposable gear.
Every blade reflects:
The materials you chose.
The enemies you prepare to face.
The kind of warrior you decide to become.
Because steel remembers.
COMBAT WITH WEIGHT AND CONSEQUENCE
Combat in Blades of Fire is methodical, grounded, and lethal.
Timing, spacing, stamina, and defense matter more than aggression.
Enemies punish recklessness and reward observation.
Weapon choice is tactical, not cosmetic.
You do not overpower your foes. You outlast them.
A WORLD THAT REWARDS CURIOSITY
The world of Blades of Fire does not unfold through constant exposition.
Much of its history, myths, and meaning resides in Adso, Aran’s companion — a young, learned mindscholar with deep knowledge of the world and an eagerness to share it.
He writes down everything and speaks when spoken to.
Story is discovered through dialogue and reading, not through cutscenes.
Knowledge comes from interest, not obligation.
The world reveals itself only to those who ask.
A GAME FOR PLAYERS WHO SEEK MASTERY
Blades of Fire is designed for players who value:
Deliberate pacing.
Meaningful progression.
Difficulty rooted in understanding, not reflexes.
Power is not given. It is earned at the anvil.
