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.
Embark on a Metroidvanian journey across a mysterious alien world where every ability unlocks new secrets and every corner hides danger or discovery. Fight enemies and bosses across multiple biomes, collect items and skills on your quest, and upgrade yourself and even the outpost itself.
On a distant planet, rifts in space are opening — threatening to release planet-devouring monsters into the galaxy. Close the rifts and save the galaxy in this modern Metroidvanian quest with tight platforming, fast-paced combat, and deep RPG progression.
COMBAT: Engage in fast, fluid battles against a wide variety of enemies and bosses across multiple distinct biomes. Use precision platforming, invincible dashes, flight, and more. Switch between customizable weapons on the fly and use every skill at your disposal.
EXPLORATION: Discover a vast, interconnected alien world packed with hidden paths, alternate routes and mysterious rifts. Be on the lookout for Vitality Sparks, Power Sparks, and other upgrades. As your abilities evolve, so does the world around you.
CUSTOMIZATION: Collect over 150 unique Skill Chips — each offering new abilities, passive buffs, and weapon modifications — are available. Slot them into a puzzle-like skill grid to shape your build, enhance your arsenal, and create a playstyle that's your own. With so much to find, no two playthroughs are exactly the same!
PROGRESSION: You're not in this fight alone. Rescue stranded colonists to rebuild and expand the outpost. Each person you rescue brings something new. Sell loot and make upgrades. As you grow stronger, so does your home base.
Star Rift Saga takes the best elements of the Metroidvania genre — ability-based progression, non-linear exploration, and rewarding secrets — while minimizing the repetitive backtracking that can slow down the pace. You'll be rewarded for backtracking and exploring areas you've already been more deeply, but not required to.
Explore a vast, interconnected planet with secrets around every corner.
Fight a variety of enemies and bosses in real-time platforming combat using weapons and items on the fly.
Collect items and skill chips to help you in tight situations. No need to stop the action or navigate a menu to use one, your inventory is always right at your fingertips!
Customize your playstyle using over 140 skill chips. Boost your stats, gain new abilities, or change entire weapons by equipping chips in the puzzle-based skill grid.
Upgrade your arsenal. You'll find new equipment and weapons to reach new areas, increase the selection at your local items shop, and even rescue colonists to gain new benefits at the outpost.
