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.
Spell words, pick perks, score points, and survive until the end. Every round is different. How far can you make it?
Word Play is a brain-busting spelling game about making words, getting perks, and scoring big.
Imagine your favourite word game - but where you get to change the rules and the tiles as you play!
Spelling
Click, drag, or type to spell the best and biggest words you can find.
Scoring
Score points based on the value of each letter, and the length of the word.
Perks
Score enough points to clear the round and you'll get a chance to pick from more than 150 perks!
Modifiers
Modifiers change the rules of the game, in your favour. Add more tile spaces, build Bonus Points, make Q tiles become QU tiles, and more.
Upgrades
Upgrades let you improve, destroy, discard, or duplicate tiles.
Gifts
Gifts add new tiles to your letter bag. Like wildcards, mirror tiles, and the legendary + tile.
Special Tiles
Upgrade tiles to special forms like Golden, Diamond, Emerald, and Potion, to score more points.
Synergies and Strategies
Combine modifiers, upgrades, gifts, and special tiles in clever ways to score big!
Special Rounds
Watch out for devious Special Rounds that require perfect play.
Roguelike Structure
Can you reach the end of the game without running out of "Plays"? Or will you have to start again from scratch?
Difficulty Settings
Learn the ropes with Easy mode, then try Normal, Hard, Legendary, and Marathon modes.
Casual Mode
Play with fewer strategic elements in Quick Play - just spell words and try to win medals!
Accessibility Features
Play with mouse, keyboard, or controller. Use dyslexic fonts and / or high contrast mode. Get spelling suggestions. And more.
Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud
Unlock more than 20 achievements. Sync your save games across devices using Steam Cloud.
Steam Deck Verified
Play with gamepad controls, or fluid touchscreen input. Graphics and options are tweaked and tuned for the Steam Deck.
Custom Dictionaries
Use experimental modding features to import custom dictionaries in different languages. (Note: in-game text will remain in English. Game is only balanced for English words).
Word Play will be an evolving game - with more modes (including Daily Challenge and Time Attack), more perks, and more ways to play coming in future updates.
