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.
Operate a telephone switchboard, meet caricatured historical figures, and avert a nuclear war in this alternate history Cold War comedy. Use tactile point-and-click controls to drag wires and install wacky gadgets as you juggle waves of calls.
November, 1962: The height of the Cold War. Mere weeks after the Cuban Missile Crisis, a new international entanglement is about to go nuclear. As the new White House switchboard operator, it’s your job to make sure long-distance negotiations don’t go sour. Get ready to phone it in.
In Cold Calling, you manage a chaotic, tactile switchboard, routing high-stakes diplomatic calls between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Connect loose wires, use wacky gadgets, and juggle waves of incoming calls punctuated by hilarious exchanges between characters in a globetrotting adventure where your choices affect the outcome of the story.
Master the switchboard to keep calls on the line:
Use physics-based wires to create paths for your calls, then choose from over two dozen unique gadgets to make your job easier. Find powerful synergies by combining absurd devices like a pirate cannon, a UFO, or...a slice of cheese?
Navigate a hilarious narrative featuring dozens of caricatured real life historical figures, and utilize secret government technology to contact voices from the past (and future) in hopes of steering history away from disaster.
Follow a masked stranger through classic point-and-click segments, then prepare for some old fashioned sleuthing. Your favorite character has a unique side story to unlock, but whose conversation will you choose to listen in on? Your decisions will lead you to one of eight unique endings.
...Hectic multitasking based challenges under time pressure. (Or not! You can play with no penalties if you're mainly interested in the story.)
...Tower defense games. Cold Calling plays similarly in some ways, though with much more active interaction during each wave.
...Political satire and alternate history stories like Dr. Strangelove and In the Loop.
...Absurdist humor and a story that could fly off the rails at any moment.
