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.

You've awakened.
You find yourself in a mysterious world of floating islands, where the sky shimmers with an ethereal glow. The islands drift like fragmented dreams, surrounded by unfamiliar flora and an unknown ecosystem.
You gradually adapt to this world's rules. You'll need to build a home and develop technology, starting from scratch—from primitive tools to advanced machinery. Craft technological marvels, explore uncharted islands, and search for other survivors.

"To get rich, first chop trees." You can acquire vast amounts of resources by gathering from resource points and opening resource chests. All resources are the fundamental fuel for civilization upgrades; without resource accumulation, development will be impossible.

The growth of your home base relies on sound planning. You need to reasonably allocate your workforce and set production tasks, transforming raw resources into precision industrial goods. Plan efficient industrial zones, strategically lay out facilities to build a production network, and use the power of machinery to break through productivity bottlenecks, extending your tech tree into the future.

On the floating isles, you’re free to design and expand as you like. Shape barren land into a thriving skybound home—complete with functional facilities, green spaces, and living quarters—using nothing but your creativity and vision.

Across the expanse of the floating isles, dwellers discovered a rare mineral known as Mysterious Glowing Stone, which harbors immense energy within. By channeling the shimmering waves it emits into dormant mechanisms, they learned to awaken ancient machines—setting them into motion and freeing humankind from manual labor.
Yet this was only the first glimpse of the power within these waves. Greater mysteries await those who dare to harness them further.

Is your character's movement speed too slow? Is their work efficiency too low?
Don't worry! You can enhance your character's abilities by wearing equipment and using idols, boosting their work efficiency and making every action quicker.

The world is vast and ripe for discovery. Venture into diverse regions, each a unique ecosystem teeming with exclusive resources and hidden opportunities. Every journey holds the promise of rare materials, lost technologies, and new frontiers.
All English text in the game was translated with the help of AI, so some lines might sound a little funky here and there.
