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.
Explore and survive these terrifying lands, and uncover the mystery of the Skult. With your companion Crow as your main weapon, charge into the horde of the night and save the souls of the damned with this 90s and early 2000s inspired Halloween shooter.
In this PS1/PSX-inspired fever dream of a wave-based horde shooter, you’re not the hero Crowhallow deserves – but you’re all it’s got. Armed with nothing but questionable reflexes and a sassy green bird named Lup, you’ll battle nightmarish foes in a handcrafted, retro world that feels just janky enough to haunt you.
Lup isn’t your average avian sidekick – he’s your primary weapon, therapist, and probably your only friend in this desolate, bird-cursed hellscape. Scavenge for upgrades that turn Lup into a feathered force of mass destruction, from devastating new attack types to “Why didn’t the developers balance this?” game-breaking alterations.
The horrors of Crowhallow are uniquely hideous – both visually and mechanically. These aren’t your standard cannon fodder; these are strategic abominations, each with their own gimmicks and quirks. Some protect their kin, others swarm you with all the grace of a broken hitbox, and all of them definitely have unresolved issues.
Movement? It’s as smooth as butter on a PS1 controller. Explore the world with upgradable traversal abilities that let you dodge, dash, and dive your way through the chaos – or straight into it, depending on how much you like to live dangerously.
So, will you and Lup save Crowhallow? Or will you simply survive long enough to regret trying? Either way, this surreal, spooky, and unapologetically satirical ride will have you cawing for more.
