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.
"Back to the same planet, together... That's all I wanted..." BOKURA: planet is a two-player puzzle adventure that explores new possibilities in cooperative gaming. Players take on the role of the crew on a space exploration ship as they try to escape from a planet where they have crash-landed on.
*Players must communicate with each other to play this game. If you are not playing in the same location, you will need another communication method, such as voice chat. Before buying the game, please keep in mind that the game itself does not provide a separate communication method.
BOKURA: planet must be played with two people on different devices. This puzzle adventure game requires the two players to communicate and work together to solve the puzzles. A new story unfolds in BOKURA: planet’s new setting. Newly added actions and puzzles will be added. BOKURA: planet is currently in active development, so wishlist the game to get details as they become available.
A mysterious creature resembling a dog stares at you. Could it hold the key to the story…?
【The basic system is the same as the previous game... but it plays completely different】
BOKURA: planet requires two players using two machines to communicate to play this 2-player puzzle adventure game.
The two players must convey what they each are seeing to their partner and work together to solve the puzzles in each stage, but a new “push” action has been added to BOKURA: planet! Players can send each other flying as they play the game…
…which means that players can push each other off cliffs if one is in the other’s way. Cooperation alone might not be enough this time! Players must not only work together, but anxiously navigate the possibility of confrontation.
New action "push" added! If you use it carelessly, you might get in trouble...?
【Story】
The earth was destroyed, and the few survivors began anew from the Stone Age,
and a new civilization was built.
Eventually, they were able to journey into space,
and so they planned to investigate faraway planets.
However, the distance between the earth and those planets was great, and it would take several hundred years to complete the journey.
Therefore, those condemned to death row were chosen to carry out the investigation.
On the journey, the research ship breaks down and two crew members must make an emergency escape.
They make an emergency landing on an unknown red planet, and they both have their own reason why they must return to Earth.
Will they be able to return safely?
【The newest work from tokoronyori (Planet of the Lonely, BOKURA)】
tokoronyori, indie game developer
Tokoronyori has continually created mysterious works brimming with originality with his unique worldview and artistic sense. In 2016, Planet of the Lonely became a hot topic on social media.
BOKURA was released in February 2023 as a member Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab Vol. 1, and has sold more than 600,000 copies. It garnered attention from streamers and VTubers in Japan and around the world.
His specialty is creating experiences that can only be lived in games by incorporating unique settings in his games.
【Message from the creator】
BOKURA: planet is based on ideas from the planning stages of BOKURA.
At the time, I was able to expand ideas that were antithetical to BOKURA, but I chose to bring various ideas into equilibrium to create BOKURA.
I am confident that I made the right decision, but at the same time, I often wondered what would have happened if I had pursued some of those other ideas. Eventually, I couldn’t stand wondering what might have been and created BOKURA: planet. It has turned out wonderfully.
