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.
Guide (and mostly watch) Caleb—the ever-marching hero—in a pixel-art auto-adventure that fuses idle-incremental depth with side-scrolling action. Complete tasks, harvest loot, and let the game’s rich graphs and stats tell the story of your endless run.
Timeless Echoes wraps the satisfying numbers-go-up core of an incremental game in a chilled, side-scrolling pixel world. Caleb never stops walking. He auto-battles monsters, auto-completes task bars, and keeps collecting resources whether you’re glued to the screen or miles away from your PC.
Auto-Walk, Auto-Fight – Caleb strolls through an endless overworld and handles combat on his own, freeing you to focus on strategy rather than click-spam.
Task Nodes – Logging camps, ore veins, chests, and more appear along the path. When Caleb arrives, a progress bar fills; once complete you pocket the resources automatically.
Town Upgrades & Buffs – Spend resources on permanent stat boosts (Damage, Attack Speed, Health, Move Speed, Defense) or trade with NPCs for powerful time-limited buffs. Yes, there’s even a cat who’ll boost your health regen in return for fresh fish.
Quests That Matter – Turn in bulk resources or rack up enemy kills to finish quests, unlocking hefty rewards and improving your offline income multiplier.
Run, Return, Repeat – Each expedition pushes a little farther, fills a few more bars, and feeds richer data into the game’s in-depth stat tracker and skyline graphs.
Idle-Incremental Meets Side-Scroller – A relaxing auto-adventure you can leave running in a corner or min-max all evening.
Buff System – Offer materials to townsfolk for temporary bonuses that radically shape your next run.
Comprehensive Stats & Graphs – Distance travelled, resources gathered per run, DPS trends, task efficiency, kill counts, death logs, and more—visualised in clean, in-game charts.
Quest-Driven Offline Gains – The more quests you finish, the faster Caleb hauls in loot while you’re AFK.
Zero Micromanagement Combat – Monsters attack, Caleb retaliates, numbers fly—no hotkeys required.
Endlessly Progressing Hero – Every upgrade, buff, and quest stacks toward the simple goal: see how far the footsteps stretch this time.
If you love watching numbers climb, graphs fill, and progress bars pop—without constant input—Timeless Echoes will be marching on your second monitor for a long, long time.
