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 city is drowning in Plague. Panic, hunger, and fear are tearing it apart. You are the last one who can change its fate: heal it, hold it back from collapse… or drive it to ruin with your own hands!

The plague has descended upon the city of Ludwig. You are the plague doctor - the last barrier between order and chaos. Walk the grim streets of a dying city and master the art of medicine in an age of pestilence. Diagnose, treat, and make brutal decisions. Enforce quarantines, burn infected homes, fight panic and whispers. Every action has a price - and not everyone will survive it…

The plague spares neither rank nor wealth. Ludwig is buried under the weight of death, panic, and despair. But your fight is not only against the sickness itself. You battle its legacy: the lies crawling through the streets, the fear poisoning every soul, the madness gripping every mind, and the heaps of bodies with no one left to bury them.
The City Magistrate, the Merchant's Guild, the poorfolk, the Inquisition, and the Church - all pulling the city’s shroud toward themselves in its final agony. Whose side will you choose?

To be a doctor in Ludwig means trading in hope. Dangerous, but profitable: everyone - from beggars to counts - is willing to give their last coin for another breath of life.
Buy rare recipes, mix concoctions, craft potent elixirs - and remember: the stronger the remedy, the higher the price of a mistake. Your goal isn’t simply to become the best physician. Your goal is to save those who can still be saved.
The game unfolds week by week, each one a struggle on death’s threshold. Diagnose ailments, battle diseases through tense mini-games, and perform miracles over a smoking distiller.
Your only companion is Bane the raven. He mocks, jeers, advises… and only you can hear him. Is he the voice of reason - or your creeping madness?

The Book of Plagues is a dark and deeply atmospheric game that blends moral dilemmas, black humor, and the madness of the medieval world. Inspired by the chronicles of the Black Death and classic literature, it throws you into the heart of an epidemic where every choice has consequences.
Will you become the city’s savior - or its final sentence? Add to your wishlist and don’t miss the coming of the Plague.
