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.
Neon Shift is a speedrun-focused, side-scrolling platformer with a twist! Run, jump and slide your way through official and community-created levels as fast as possible, then shift into a phantom that can uncover new routes with a dash and chase yourself down to secure a top spot on the leaderboard.
Neon Shift is a speedrunning platformer featuring 24 official levels and a community level editor/browser. In Neon Shift, levels play out across two distinct phases - the run and the chase. To submit their times to the leaderboard, players must successfully complete both phases back to back.
Neon Shift's gameplay is heavily focused on maintaining momentum, so precise platforming is required to avoid mistakes that will kill the runner's speed and increase completion time. Sliding down ramps provides a burst of speed, so players aiming for a top spot on the leaderboard should seek them out.
Some levels present multiple paths for players to experiment with and determine their fastest route.
Later levels feature spikes and speed boosts, among other tiles - be on the lookout for anything that could impact your run!
Upon reaching the end of a run, the player's time is locked in and they switch into the Phantom. They must now catch the ghost of the run they just completed.
The Phantom has some advantages that support the player in catching their ghost, as long as they are able to maintain momentum. While it begins at the same pace as the ghost, the Phantom's maximum speed gradually increases throughout the chase, and it has access to a recharging dash that can be used to cover extra ground.
The dash can also be used to pass through red blocks, and doing so refreshes its cooldown, allowing the player to chain multiple dashes together or unlock previously inaccessible routes.
If the player successfully catches their run as the Phantom, their time will be submitted to the leaderboard.
Each official level also features a three star system that rewards players for beating a challenge time while grabbing collectibles along the way.
Neon Shift's level editor puts all of the tools used to build the official levels directly into the players' hands! Build, test and upload your own creations for others to enjoy.
Using the Community Levels tab, players can browse, play and rate levels made by others. As with official levels, all community levels have their own leaderboards, so players can still compete for the top spots.
