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.
Vint is a high quality and performant machine learning based interpolation and temporal upscaling system to upscale most video formats, web sources, and even video capture card sources all in realtime. Vint supports BFI strobing and CRT scanout beam emulation based on the work of Blur Busters.
Vint is a temporal upscaling system that incorporates interpolation and black frame insertion among other tools to improve the motion fidelity of nearly any video content. Vint can play and handle local video files, web sources like YouTube, and realtime UVC streams like those from video capture card.
Vint offers unique functionality like the ability to run CRT beam scanout emulation on arbitrary video sources. CRT emulation allows you to not only add a retro feel to your video motion but to lower image persistence without as much flicker as traditional black frame insertion/strobing. This feature is currently in development but will available soon after initial release.
Vint uses RIFE machine learning based interpolation to increase the output framerate of videos with remarkably minimal artifacts.
Higher framerates are more important than ever because when screen sizes increase, displays get brighter, and videos have more action and movement, the same framerate can make movement becomes harder to follow and produce more perceived flicker.
Interpolation helps to mitigate the flicker, choppiness, and distracting image separation artifacts created by low framerate video sources.
Vint also supports a variety of black frame insertion (BFI) strobing formats. Vint can create strobing for any video source and refresh rate. Vint also supports multiple strobing to simulate 35mm film projection formats which reduce flicker.
Vint can process realtime video from local files or from web streamed sources like Youtube, Twitch, or even arte.tv
Vint can also transcode video files to compress and interpolate them at higher resolutions or output framerates than can be achieved in realtime. This is a great option for 8k or higher resolution 3D VR 180 videos.
Finally, Vint can process UVC inputs like those from video capture cards. This allow you to interpolate video games from consoles or other computers at relatively low latency.
Vint uses a advanced, high quality interpolation engine called RIFE. While Vint accelerates RIFE using the powerful tensor cores on Nvidia RTX GPUs, it still requires substantial GPU horsepower. In realtime, an RTX 3080 can be expected to interpolate 1080p video to 60FPS. An RTX 4090 can achieve 4k video to 60FPS. An RTX 5090 is expected to achieve 4k video up to 120FPS
Vint does not currently support AMD or Intel GPUs or MacOS and Linux operating systems. It may be possible in the future but performance on these systems is currently inadequate.
Performance can be determined by looking at CUDA usage in the GPU section of task manager as well as checking whether frames are dropped in the MPV video player. Press 'i' in the video player to bring up that video data and statistics.
Vint has substantial customization and configuration options. These options are nearly all optional. All config changes apply instantly.
The control client offers a variety of functions including the ability to quickly play web links with a click on the notification tray icon. The client is super lightweight, it launches instantly and uses next to no resources ( <60MB of RAM and light on the CPU, especially when idle).
The Vint client also supports high DPI settings and can be resized and rearranged at will. Custom fonts are supported and arbitrary UI sizes.
Videos can be queued and reordered for both realtime playback and offline transcoding.
Vint requires no admin privileges and is fully modular without external dependencies. Dependencies can be replaced and the install directory can be moved anywhere on your computer.
Vint is fully DRM free and user configurable.
