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 3D platformer collectathon featuring puzzles, mazes, and a bit of speedrunning in a retro-minimalist package evocative of the PS2 era. Can YOU figure out how to grab all the things, and do it efficiently? Or, go at your own pace, and deeply disappoint the unseen snarky narrator.

An alien spacecraft just entered the solar system, but all that's on board is a video game?

As the world's Preeminent Video Game Scientist you've been tasked with solving this mystery. But you won't be alone; the unseen snarky narrator will be at you side the whole time, making sure you don't get all the credit and glory.

Gameplay

Each level is a navigation puzzle: how do I find the exit while collecting all the necessary or optional objects along the way, some of which may be hidden, or hard to reach? Levels are small & bite sized, but open ended with multiple paths. Find a fast enough path to unlock extra rewards, or just muddle thru for a casual experience.

Speed running: optional but encouraged

Causal/chill vibe players can enjoy the entire game at their own pace. BUT, for more challenge and some competition try to beat the in-game time trials or even complete in the Steam Leaderboards for each level.

Features:

• Not a precision platformer
  
• Death just means quick travel back to the last (user specifiable) checkpoint
  
• Mazes always have a tell, leading you in the right direction (But wander randomly, if you must)
  
• Soundtrack can be muted AT ANY TIME (but we hope you won't want to)
  
• Plays equally well with mouse or gamepad (all brands should work thru the magic of Steam Input)
  
• Verified to work on at least ONE Steam Deck
  
• 38 hand-crafted levels

Our GAMEPLAY: a philosophical treatise

A good collectathon lets you choose: the best path to get to the end, which collectables to get, and how efficient to be about the whole nonsense. That's the philosophy behind our levels: there is no single path through them, but there's probably a BEST way, which may not have been discovered yet (or even intended by the designer).

Because large sprawling open world levels can get tiresome, with a lot of backtracking or getting lost, our levels are smaller, bite sized floating platforms where completing a level should never take more than 5 minutes.

The only requirement is to get to the end of each level, and causal players can even search out the hidden skip level option, if desperate. Butfor extra challenge, collect all the things and do it (relatively) quickly. Rather than competing against a world leaderboard with ever diminishing odds of ever placing, our speedrun challenges are designed for a moderately motivated and moderately agile player to achieve given some planning, knowledge of the level layout, and at most a few retries to get it right. Rather than relying on split second timing, you'll get a lot further thinking about which regions to visit first, where to place the re-spawn point, etc.

“Accompanying you will be the voice of an AI who guides you through what it needs to really decipher what is found within. Most gamers will immediately recognize this AI as a play on GLADOS, with maybe a bit less psychosis, but an equal amount of smack talking, lol. There can be no doubt that the two person dev team loves Portal. As do I. I thought that provided a fun bit of interaction and motivation throughout the game. The game is also thick with dry humor and video game/gamer meta, which I also appreciated.”
