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.

Cosmic Overdrive brings fast-paced rounds of a VR sci-fi runner that prioritizes comfort, immersion and engagement. Physically maneuver your spacecraft with interactive machinery. Fly cautiously to survive, but not so cautiously that the portal closes before you can make it through.

Arcade meets atmosphere in a competitive VR runner with unique movement mechanics.

What you will be doing:

• Control your spacecraft with immersive interactive machinery.
  
• Steer, dodge, and boost strategically to avoid hazards.
  
• Destroy the Guardian before it reaches and closes the portal.
  
• Teleport to the next section before the facility locks you inside.
  
• Unlock harder difficulties as you master the combat loop.
  
• Climb to the top of the online leaderboard in Ranked mode.

Fun Features You Will Enjoy:

• Procedurally generated environments provide a new experience every round.
  
• Great soundtrack that puts you in the rhythm of the game.
  
• Emphasis on visual, audio and haptic feedback ensures a full and intuitive experience.
  
• Fast paced movement designed to be comfortable for motion-sensitive players.
  
• Adjustable sensitivities for your spacecrafts' controls give you individualized comfort.
  
• Toggleable control schemes (including One-Handed mode).
  
• Combat that is equal part arcade and equal part action movie.

Single-Resource OVERDRIVE System:

• Charge your weapons: Fly through consecutive rings to accumulate Overdrive.
  
• Time-based Powerup: Overdrive makes the ship faster but depletes with time.
  
• Resource-Management: Overdrive depletes faster when the weapons are firing.

Infinitely Replayable Combat Loop:

• Retro-boss combat: The Guardian will shut down the portal if not destroyed.
  
• Race against the clock: The portal closes faster and faster with each round.
  
• Master the Overdrive Mechanic to Destroy The Guardian and reach the portal.

Cosmic Overdrive is the first VR space-craft game to use Neuroscience to balance fast-paced gameplay with comfort . Avoiding rotations that engage the Vestibular System removes the mismatch with the Visual system that can trigger discomfort in VR.



Sharp movements, such as translational dodges , are kept comfortable by requiring fast hand-motion, producing an Efference Copy that the brain can use to explain the visual transition. Gameplay progresses down a tight path to maximize optic flow and generate the percept of high speeds .



Dopamine, everyone's favorite neuromodulator, leads to an enjoyable experience in both its baseline and spikes. Tonic Dopamine is sustained at a high baseline through frequent intermediate rewards such as the Asteroid Destruction System . Spikes in Phasic Dopamine are achieved with gameplay highlights such as destroying The Guardian .



The interactive mechanical interface the player physically moves to steer provides intrinsically rewarding agency and the pace of the gameplay is in the hands of the player , with a Boost system that allows for safe and slow cruising through the Asteroid Mining Facility or a break-neck race to the Portal .



The player always has an Internal Locus of Control. Unlike other VR titles, there is no Game-Over from looking the wrong way . HUD information communicated through color for quick processing that minimizes Cognitive Load and allows players to focus on the gameplay itself.



At high difficulties all the skills and strategy come together in a tight simple competitive loop that is infinitely replayable. Compete against your friends or on the Online Leaderboards in an engaging sci-fi runner with deep Arcade-like systems to learn, enjoy and master.
