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.

In this entertaining and educational game, players analyze evidence from under the ocean floor to unlock dramatic stories.

Deep beneath the ocean floor, what discoveries are possible? Join
science bot Rovee on 3 expeditions with the International Ocean
Discovery Project. Drill core samples from below the ocean floor,
compare the layers, investigate hypotheses, and piece together
dramatic stories of life on Earth.

Stores from the Cores is a suite of 3 single-player mini games about
deep ocean core science. The games feature multiple choice questions,
exploring 3D environments with science bot Rovee via point and
click controls. Collecting mineral samples for scientific research, and
matching games that all teach players about deep ocean core science.

“It’s like a fun game and you can learn from it.” Age 12

The mini games are the following:

Mysteries of the Core
Why are bits of land plants found in cores drilled from
under the sea floor far from shore?

“It's a colorful, interesting story, connected to what science is finding out.” Age 40



Deep Dark Life
How are microbes able to live inside rocks hundreds of feet below
the sea floor? Find out what the Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations
has discovered.

“I never thought of microbes at the bottom of the sea. I thought it was a
dark place with nothing going on.” Age 40s



Die-no-saur
What do dinosaurs and plankton have in common? What happened
on Earth when dinosaurs, plankton and lots of other life went extinct?

“Ocean drilling means…getting samples from the ground to play back
history to find out what happened.” Age 14


Accuracy
These games are based on current scientific data. HOWEVER, we did add googley eyes to the microbes.
