Guide: Installing Why? on Linux with Steam Proton

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.

          What is Why?? Features and Description

          A bizarre and oddly captivating journey of patience, self-reflection, destruction, and meditation. Embrace the challenge, endure bare-knuckle blows, and seek the mystical light in this ethereal clicker game.

          Why? is a minimalist first-person experience blending meditative repetition with visceral physicality. Punch your way through a brick-solid environment to uncover the truth behind its existence - or accept that some questions have no answers.

          With 87.3% of play testers reporting either unexpected tranquillity or profound existential dread (Steam survey data pending), Why? offers a uniquely polarized experience.

          KEY FEATURES

          Advanced Fist-to-Wall Physics: Our proprietary collision system ensures every punch feels impactful (disclaimer: knuckles safety not guaranteed)

          Dynamic Narrative Delivery: A disembodied voice provides critical motivational feedback at randomized intervals

          Procedural Existentialism: Walls fracture in mathematically unsettling patterns fuelled by the OCD system (Ordered Chaos Destruction system is patent pending)

          Accessible Mastery Curve: Casual players enjoy 2.7 hours of median engagement; completionists report 14-hour ascension cycles

          Artisanal Achievements: 7 hand-illustrated Achievement badges to validate your life choices

          TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

          • Cinematic fist realism with industry-leading animations (velocity, angle, and regret variables)

          • Studio-quality existential commentary recorded at 24-bit/96kHz in a professional sound booth (then heavily processed to sound appropriately disembodied)

          • Lumen-powered impending doom with ray-traced self-doubt

          • Original soundtrack full of meditative lo-fi droning (seriously)

          WHY PLAY "WHY?"

          • Therapeutic Value: 62% of users reported decreased productivity anxiety*

          • Philosophical Merit: Named "Most Rhetorical Game of 2023" (self-proclaimed)

          • Benchmark Utility: Ideal for testing mouse durability (avg. 8,721 clicks/completion)

          Test survey data from 1.5 respondents

          Join the debate – Is it a commentary on creative futility? A parody of early-access culture? Or just a fist-shaped stress reliever? Share your theories in the Community Hub or our Order + Chaos Discord.
