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 relaxed 3D jigsaw puzzle game about building detailed miniature dioramas of places from around the world.

In Puzzling Places you piece together 3D jigsaw miniatures of locations from around the world. There are no scores or timers — just the simple, relaxing joy of connecting pieces and discovering small details along the way.

Would you like to attend a medieval wedding in the Spanish royal palace?  Explore Mont-Saint-Michel, a French abbey perched on a small tidal island in Normandy?  Or wander a cozy Alsace street corner with flowers and playful cats? 

The game features 18 unique locations from around the world, each rich in detail, accompanied by distinctive soundscapes, with some featuring small story moments and subtle animations.

Whether you’re a dedicated jigsaw enthusiast who enjoys long sessions with hundreds of pieces, or you just want to unwind by snapping together a few, every puzzle is available in multiple piece counts and two game modes—so you can choose the playstyle and level of challenge that suits you:

• Classic Mode: You get all pieces at once and sort and assemble freely, just like a traditional jigsaw

• Journey Mode: Start from a single piece and puzzle in small batches for a calmer, more guided experience. Ideal for casual play, short sessions, or when you just don’t want to deal with “the big pile.”

• Multiple Piececounts: Each puzzle is available in 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 pieces - and some even 800 or 1000 pieces! 

Puzzle comfortably on your desktop PC, on the go with Steam Deck, or fully immersed in a VR Headset —
Puzzling Places has been optimized across all three platforms.
