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.
Watch the bottles quietly flowing down the river, listen to the pleasant sound of running water, throw small stones into the water, and discover the small animals living by the river... I believe you will definitely gain a wonderful mood.
🎮 Game Overview
Bottle Can Float is a relaxing drifting game where you can truly unwind. No goals, no pressure—just choose your favorite bottle or paper boat, gently set it on the water, and let the gentle current carry you through ever-changing scenery on a soothing, go-with-the-flow journey.
✨ Core Features
🌿 An Immersive & Free Drifting Experience
Pick your traveling companion from a variety of bottles and paper boats, each with its own unique floating feel and style.
Let the water guide you through forests, valleys, villages, and moonlit nights—every scene is crafted with care, featuring rich ambient sounds and beautiful visuals.
The game supports laid-back idle play: you can sit back and watch your bottle drift, or interact lightly with the river to add a touch of playful engagement.
🦋 A Lively & Living River Ecosystem
Observe and collect the little creatures living along the riverbanks and in the water: butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, and fireflies may land softly on your vessel, while crabs, crayfish, frogs, and lizards hide among the stones, waiting to be discovered.
Each map features three unique types of fish to catch—complete your aquatic collection!
Lift larger rocks in the river to uncover hidden surprises and little secrets.
🎣 Relaxing & Engaging Interactions
Use stones you find along the way to skip them across the water—challenge yourself to beat your highest bounce count and enjoy the satisfaction of watching ripples spread.
Or simply toss pebbles into the water or toward your floating bottle, savoring the calm ripples and nostalgic joy of playing by a river in simpler times.
🗺️ Four Beautifully Distinct Routes
The base game includes three themed rivers: a sun-dappled stream, an autumn riverbank glowing with red leaves, and a serene night scene lit by fireflies.
The free DLC Paper Boat Drift adds a brand-new environment: become a folded paper boat and drift through a poetic origami-inspired world, experiencing a uniquely lightweight journey.
🏆 Rich Collection & Achievement System
Unlock over 20 collection-based achievements, from catching animals and fish to mastering stone-skipping and discovering hidden content.
Perfect for players who enjoy gentle progression and the quiet satisfaction of completing small goals as they drift along.
đź›¶Â A Peaceful Moment Just for You
Bottle Can Float is more than just a game—it's a quiet corner you can return to whenever you need a moment of calm. Whether you want to unwind for a few minutes or lose yourself in a longer float, you'll always find the gentle sound of flowing water, shifting light, and the warmth of life along the banks.
Pick a bottle, or set a paper boat free… and let the river carry you somewhere you don’t need to rush.
