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 dark fantasy RPG where Match-3 combat meets dungeon exploration. As a young squire, uncover ancient secrets, forge alliances, and battle eldritch horrors beneath the castle. Your choices shape the fate of the kingdom—will you rise as a hero or succumb to the darkness?

The kingdom stands on the brink of ruin. Whispers of doom echo through the streets, yet no one knows the truth. Beneath the castle, in the depths long consigned to oblivion, something stirs. An ancient darkness, thought to be sealed away forever, awakens once more—and you are the only one who can uncover its secrets.
In Rune Ark, strategy and storytelling intertwine in a unique fusion of Match-3 combat and dungeon-crawling RPG mechanics. You play as a young squire, eager to prove your worth. But when you stumble upon something that was never meant to be found, your journey shifts from one of ambition to a desperate fight for survival—and for the fate of the kingdom itself.

Match tiles to unleash ancient powers, unravel hidden mysteries, and carve your path through the shifting depths. Procedurally generated dungeons hide more than just threats—they conceal choices.

Will you uncover the truth of the Rune Ark before the darkness consumes you? Will you rise as a hero, or vanish into history as just another lost soul?
