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.

Items are more than their sell value in this shopkeeping game. Run shops, hire workers, haggle for profit, and dominate ancient global trade from Muziris to Rome.

Mercator (pronounced like the map projection) is an item shop game inspired primarily by Swords and Potions and Recettear. You will trade with customers and set up shops across the world with ships, caravans and more!

Shopkeeping

You start off with a tiny shack in Muziris, an ancient Indian trading port. Your objective as a fledgling merchant is to maximize profits by making good deals with the customers that roam into your shop. In time, you will expand your emporium by buying properties and joining forces with other merchants.

No item shop game is complete without haggling! In Mercator you can ask for better deals at any time in a negotiation, and even remove/add items in a back-and-forth, iterative process.

In Mercator customers may have wildly different valuations of the same item. No "value" for a given item is provided to you either, so it's truly up to you to decide how much an item is worth.

As a merchant, you will have access to workers who can make artisan items from raw materials, as well as research new items, scrap items back into their raw materials, and even reverse-engineer items you come across!

Later on, you will gain access to ships and caravans to encounter new regions and engage in arbitrage.

Day-night cycle

The work of a merchant does not end when the shop closes. At night, you will still be able to purchase new properties and farmland, scavenge for resources, farm ancient cash crops like the legendary black pepper, traverse rivers and lakes with boats, and even fish in your spare time!

Roleplaying in a rich, real world

Mercator takes place in the third century AD - when Rome and Persia were enemies eternal, the Chera Empire of Southwest India still controlled the pepper industry, when the Aksumite Empire still reigned supreme over the coast of east Africa and Arabia, and when Christianity was only just beginning to take hold. As your emporium expands, it will be exposed to new peoples, ideologies and legacies.

Art

Mercator takes an unorthodox (and economical!) approach of using pixel art and simple color schemes to convey the ancient world in a way you have never seen before.

Combat

What's that? You just made that word up.
