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 quirky turn-based puzzle game where you help the Gnome King, Shorty, escape from his own tower! Navigate handmade levels, kill monsters, dodge traps, purify allies, and teleport on your path to freedom, while meeting a cast of silly characters along the way.
In order to help King Shorty, Archmage Tip has unleashed his magical prowess, and he's been able to cast a powerful spell that was capable of fragmenting time in turns.
In each level of the Tower you must reach the stairs before the turns run out, otherwise there will be a gnome with a crown on his head no more!
The King has many enemies, each one with different patterns and traits that shape the way you move and interact in a level.
Nagas that ignore the holy power of the sunlight.
Evil gnome warlocks that teleport with a lethal beam.
Imps who like to take a nap every other step.
Grumpy dwarves, greedy goblins, and more...
Defend the life of the gnome monarch at all costs!
Find the best path to escape the Tower, and engage yourself with handcrafted levels that are filled with many and varied types of traps, mechanisms and enemies.
Windows and Lights that will stun or purify your enemies.
Teleportation Platforms that help you, and the invaders, move accross a level.
Dangerous Spikes that kill anything that stands on them.
Enchanted Doubloons, Spiked Chests, and more...
Study the levels, be mindful of your steps, choose the right course of action and your escape will be certain!
The Telepaty Spell will allow you to know the advisors of King Shorty during his escape. Expect nothing but extravagant individuals!
Who knows what you might discover?
Someone could be hiding a very unexpected secret...
Can't decide if this game is right for you? In that case, I invite you to try the free demo, which includes the entire first area of the game!
However, if you don't want to download the demo, the next section is for you.
In short, you will like this game if:
You like turn-based games.
You appreciate convoluted levels.
Limits don't bother you.
You like puzzle games where you are often stuck without immidiately grasping the reason.
You like to think ahead.
You like crates.
You don't trust carpets.
You will, most likely, dislike this game if:
You like games with fast and adrenalinic gameplay.
You don't like fantasy.
You don't like silly humor.
You don't like to be trapped.
You don't want to waste time stuck in the same level.
You don't like to restart a level if you make a mistake.
Pixel art is not for you.
