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.

In Deadwire you use weapons and a smart hacking ability to take revenge on the criminal gangs of your city. Trigger chain reactions by hacking the environment in clever ways, or link enemies for one-shot multi kills. Shoot, stab and throw grenades, use stealth, cunning or brawn to take down enemies.

DeadWire is a top-down tactical shooter set in a high-tech, dystopian city. You play as Wire, a skilled hacker navigating the dangerous streets of a crime-infested future. Use your hacking abilities to manipulate the environment and outsmart heavily armed enemies out to stop you.

Its not easy. Deadwire is designed to be challenging in a good way. The action is a mix of fast shooting (often against heavy odds) and slower combat puzzles. Look around for something to hack, experiment with chain reactions- use the environment to distract or destroy.

Chain Reaction Carnage – In the high-tech, crime-filled world of Deadwire, you can hack enemies and link them to each other and nearby objects, causing deadly chain reactions that turn the environment into a weapon.

DeadWire Mode -  Mix fast shooting, power-ups, and a unique rewiring ability to help you defeat enemies and complete your mission.  

There are always plenty of options, make sure you use the link view to check for possible hack opportunities. Plan ahead or go in-freestyle and restart if you get blocked. The restart function is there for a reason.

Utilise a deadly arsenal of weapons - including pistols, shotguns, smg, molatov grenades, smart rifles and more.  Grab enemy weapons and ammo for a quick upgrade and keep an eye out for hidden easter eggs and power-ups.

Side-Objectives & Time Trials - Use your creativity to complete missions in different ways and beat side-objectives and time-targets to unlock trophies.

The game is designed to be replayed, and the time trail and speedrun score mode, achievements and side objectives are there to reward anyone looking for extra challenge.

Epic Synthwave Soundtrack - Lose yourself in DeadWire's immersive cyberpunk soundscape that evokes a future world of dystopian technology and burgeoning rebellion.

Become the ultimate operator - Unravel DeadWire's tale of dark web deceit and treachery in a neon-soaked dystopian city.

So to sum up.

• Deadwire is designed to challenge

• It can be difficult but you have tools to make it easier

• Expect to restart levels

• Gameplay is a mix of fast shooting and slower combat puzzles

• There is a story but its not story driven

• Replayability through side objectives, time trials and score mode

“There are plenty of cyberpunk games which allow you to use hacking in combat, but few with such immediate, explosive consequences”
Rock Paper Shotgun

“It feels absolutely badass to use your hacking powers in varied violent ways, and I’m looking forward to causing a lot of damage with them. When I think of hacking in games I think of puzzle mini games, but Deadwire’s hacking focus is so much more than this”
