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.
Experience fast-paced top-down retro racing: build your own tracks, climb global leaderboards, challenge friends in split-screen, and race through dynamic day-to-night transitions in multi-category events.
Pretend Cars Racing is back—rebuilt from the ground up. Keeping its signature balance between arcade fun and simulation feel, Pretend Cars Racing 2 brings more cars, more tracks, and more ways to race. Create and share custom circuits with the built-in Track Creator and Steam Workshop support, experience a dynamic day–night cycle designed for long multi-class events, and enjoy a long list of improvements across the board.
A refreshed physics approach makes the game instantly enjoyable from your very first laps—yet deeply rewarding as you improve. You’ll find yourself chasing that perfect lap time whether you’re racing AI, battling friends, or pushing for the top spot on the global leaderboards.
The game supports split-screen multiplayer so you can race against friends, locally or via the Internet even if they don't own a copy, through Steam's Let's Play Together!
The base game includes 37 tracks inspired by real-world circuits and original layouts, plus 7 car categories spanning multiple eras of motorsport—each demanding a different driving style.
Alongside nearly 40 included tracks, you can expand the roster with your own creations or community-made circuits. The Track Creator is easy to use and fully integrated with Steam Workshop. You can also customize the names and looks of the entire driver grid to make every championship feel personal.
Time progression during races adds fresh challenges. Let the hours pass naturally—or speed them up for faster transitions—to recreate night races and endurance-style events, even under the rain.
The revised handling model improves control and steering feel, and supports FWD, RWD, and AWD cars. It brings the game closer to simulation while keeping its arcade spirit.
It’s not just lighting: upgraded particle effects, improved audio, and persistent skid marks make every race feel more intense and alive.
