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.
Stellar Archipelago is a third-person base builder with a space western flair. Gather resources, build colonies on miniature planets, and grow your population to prove habitability. Unlock the warp junction and open your frontier system to future settlers.
Stellar Archipelago is a third-person base builder set among the stars.
On the far frontier, your mission is clear: transform a chain of isolated micro-worlds into thriving, interconnected settlements capable of sustaining life far beyond the Inner Sphere. Humanity’s core systems are overcrowded and depleted — success in your sector could open the door to a new era of expansion.
Each procedurally generated star system you enter presents unique layouts and challenges. To complete your mission, you must build, expand, and ultimately prove that your system can support large populations across multiple planets.
Descend onto miniature planets scattered across your system and begin gathering the essentials for survival. Harvest metals, minerals, and organic compounds from the surface of each plant. Use your mining laser to mine any object on any planet to collect resources.
Construct and organize your first colony from the ground up.
Place and upgrade structures to generate energy, food, water, and infrastructure for your growing population.
Balance limited space and terrain constraints with the needs of your settlers. Whether you’re creating habitat domes beneath the clouds, anchoring geothermal plants into molten crusts, or creating arrays of solar panels, every decision shapes the sustainability and identity of your settlement.
Utilize adjacency bonuses and penalties between particular buildings to create optimal settlement layouts.
Expand your reach beyond a single world.
Each miniature planet in your system is fully explorable, small enough to traverse on foot, or even orbit, yet large enough to host a growing settlement. Jump between planets while making sure that you have enough oxygen to survive the journey. Survey new environments, discover natural landmarks, find new resource locations, and unlock advanced structures.
Place buildings, manage resources, and nurture your population. As your community grows, new opportunities emerge. Every settlement contributes to the larger star system you’re developing. Expand beyond a single planet, creating system spanning colonies that work together and share resources to support your growing population.
When your system thrives and your population surpasses the critical milestone of one hundred settlers, a new frontier opens. Construct the Warp Junction, a monumental gateway linking your star system to the wider galaxy. This achievement not only marks the culmination of your mission — it signals that life beyond the Inner Sphere is not only possible but sustainable. Your success becomes a beacon, inviting future settlers to follow in your footsteps and turning your once-isolated outposts into the foundation of humanity’s next great chapter.
