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.

Rescue cats! Collect hearts! Defy the laws of physics! Q.P.I.D. is part platformer, part physics puzzler, part race against the clock. Did we mention the cats?

Happy Valentine's Day! Q.P.I.D. is the latest release from Digital Eclipse Arcade, a series of all-new games inspired by classic '80s arcade vibes.

Like everyone else on the internet, Q.P.I.D. loves cats. Unfortunately, the cats that the Quadrangular Programmable Inversion Device has been sworn to protect have gotten themselves into places they shouldn't be. With nerves of steel and a heart of gold, Q.P.I.D. is determined to rescue as many of them as possible, even if he has to bend the laws of physics to do it. Toggle gravity, blast enemies, avoid hazards, and collect cats before your battery runs out. Part platformer, part puzzler, Q.P.I.D. delivers a hero who's state of the heart.

Instructions

• Flip gravity to move objects, enemies, and obstacles
  
• Rescue cats on each level
  
• Collect all hearts for a perfect score
  
• Keep Q.P.I.D. juiced with charging stations

Hazards & Helpers

• LOLLIDROPS aren't tasty — they're nasty. These mines will explode when you get near, but they won't be triggered by swapping gravity.
  
• HEARTACHERS demand their personal space; get too close to these shuffling scorpions, and they'll zap you. They also devour hearts!
  
• BEAM UPS shoot deadly laser light straight out when they're activated — but you can flip their switches when you flip the gravity.
  
• WUVLIES make their way the only way they know how: End over end. You can blast these flipping foes, but beware — shortly after being incapacitated, they explode!
  
• BIG CRUSHERS do exactly what their name implies: They crush (on) you big time. Don't get trapped beneath them!
  
• HEARTIANS attack in swarms when disturbed and slow you down, so be ready to blast them all before they reach you.
  
• SPEED ROLLERS give you a turbo boost. Walk through a light-blue column and get ready for a rapid ride!
  
• BOUNCE PADS put a spring in your step, sending you skyward when shifting gravity might have some negative effects.
  
• TETHERS automatically collect nearby hearts. Avoid entering dangerous spaces just by tugging on these heartstrings.

Gameplay Hints

• Q.P.I.D. might fall faster or slower than some of the enemies and obstacles. Use that to sneak past them during gravity shifts.
  
• Sometimes flipping gravity will put hearts right in the path of a Heartacher. Look for alternate locomotion paths like bounce pads and speed rollers to avoid that risk.
  
• Lollidrops can't be destroyed by blasting them, but they can be deflected with a barrage of shots. Use this to create opportunities to sneak past them.

Game Controls

• Move: Joystick/WASD
  
• Blaster: Button 1/Mouse Button 1
  
• Flip Gravity: Button 2/Mouse Button 2
  
• Self Destruct: Button 1/Mouse Button 1 + Button 2/Mouse Button 2

Additional Options

• F1 toggles CRT scanlines on/off
  
• F2 toggles CRT curvature on/off
  
• F3 switches in window size in windowed mode
  
• Back button on controller accesses CRT/windowed options
  
• F9 resets the game
  
• Alt-Enter toggles between 16:9 fullscreen and 4:3 windowed mode
