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.
The Fortress is a dark fantasy dungeon crawler with turn-based combat, mixing strategy and risk. Choose a class, delve into cursed chambers, roll dice to fight brutal enemies, and grab loot. Face tough choices, survive epic bosses, and fight to escape... or fall to the shadows
You’re held prisoner by the hideous Lich, who captured you during his expansion wars and locked you up for eternity in his fortress with the other outcasts. With no name, no past, and left to rot in a place of death and damnation, you have one goal: survive... and escape.
Advance through different rooms in this horrific citadel, face the enemies that block your way and keep on your path toward an illusory salvation. Every choice counts: in combat, in the alliances you make, in the upgrades you will accept.
The path is long and unforgiving. Each step could lead you closer to freedom... or drag you toward an even darker fate. But in the fortress death is never the end: when a prisoner falls, another one takes their place, in endless cycles of suffering and hope.
Will you endure long enough to see the light of day again?
Each game is different from the previous one.
Choose from nine available classes and customize your prisoner with unique abilities, upgrades, and gear. Advance one room at a time through a procedurally generated path, designed to be always unpredictable and full of surprises.
Confront the Lich’s dark army with a combat system based on dice rolls, which blends strategy and risk at every choice. Pick up hundreds of items, relics, and gear items to adapt your playstyle and increase your chances of survival.
During your escape, experience a dark and gothic story, populated by enigmatic characters who are ready to offer a helping hand... or betray you.
The fortress is full of monsters, but also full of unexpected opportunities.
Throughout your journey, you will encounter unlikely and unreliable allies: vampire merchants, disgraced abbots, and other eerie characters, each with their own secrets and hidden agendas. Their help could prove to be vital... but at what cost?
It is up to you to choose whom to trust, which alliances to forge, and when to walk away. Each choice could push you closer to salvation or sentence you to an untimely demise.
And if you fall on the battlefield, another prisoner will be ready to take up your legacy and attempt to escape again.

The Fortress was developed by Baryonyx Games, an Italian independent studio based in the ancient city of Rome. It was founded out of our passion for old-school video games, complex systems, and dark settings.
We are a small, passionate team fully involved in every phase of development: we design, develop, and polish every detail with care, collaborating with trusted creatives when needed to bring our vision to life.
For us, The Fortress is more than a game: it is an ongoing challenge against the unknown. Each mechanic, room, and battle is crafted to build a world of choices, survival, risk, and sacrifice, blending retro aesthetics with a distinctive artistic and narrative identity. In other words, our goal is to deliver experiences that deeply resonate with our players.
