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.
Team up with a friend in this physics-based 2-player co-op adventure! Control a fragile balloon by managing the distance between you and navigate through challenging obstacles. Perfect synchronization is key to dodging traps. Can you finish the course without popping the balloon (or friendship)?
Don't Pop the Balloon is a challenging co-op adventure that ties you and your friend to a single balloon with a delicate string. Your goal is clear: move in perfect harmony and reach the end of the level without popping the balloon.
Use the distance between you to control the balloon:
Get closer: The balloon rises
Move apart: The balloon lowers
Too far apart: The string stretches and the balloon pops!
You must maintain this balance to survive tight spaces and traps.
Balloon-Targeted Traps
Character-Targeted Traps
Moving Obstacles
Tight Spaces
Every mistake sends you back to the last checkpoint.
Support your friend through tough sections.
Use it to destroy enemies at certain points.
Or test your friend's patience by pushing them into traps.
2 Players Required: Cannot be played solo — syncing with your partner is a must.
Online & Local Co-op: Play side by side or remotely.
The number of checkpoints varies based on the difficulty you choose:
Easy: All checkpoints active.
Medium: Checkpoint after every 2 traps.
Hard: Checkpoint after every 3 traps.
Impossible: NO checkpoints! (Exclusively for brave players seeking a real challenge.)
Take a deep breath and trust your partner. Let's see if you can complete the course, or if you'll end up disappointed along with your balloon.
