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.

A customizable event display for collider experiments for desktop or virtual reality. Explore electron-proton collisions in the ePIC detector at the future Electron-Ion Collider, or upload your own detector geometry and collision data to be animated.

VIRTUE: Virtual Interactive Reality Toolkit for Understanding the EIC

Explore the world of collider physics with VIRTUE, a standalone event display application designed for both desktop and virtual reality. Take a closer look at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Lab, or create and upload new detector geometries and particle physics data to be animated.

Features:

ePIC Detector Model:
Investigate the ePIC detector model, including X-Ray and engineering versions, to understand its design.

Simulated Electron-Proton Collisions:
Witness simulated electron-proton collision events, showcasing the science planned for the future EIC.

Customizability:
Customize detector geometries and animate collision data using JSON files, adapting the application to new collision scenarios or experiments beyond the EIC.

Animation Features:
Freely navigate the virtual environment to investigate the detector and individual collisions, or set the camera and event animator on a loop for smooth, professional-level animations to record for presentations and demonstrations.

Education and Outreach:
VIRTUE serves as an educational resource, engaging young students through virtual reality and offering a unique exploration of collider experiments to physics enthusiasts. With its customizable features, VIRTUE offers an excellent opportunity for undergraduate-level projects, allowing students to adapt it to explore and understand new experiments in the field.
