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.

A Retro-Inspired Sci-Fi Platformer Adventure — Now Free on Steam

Originally developed as a birthday gift for my nephew, Jackroid is a heartfelt indie game that blends classic action-platforming with Metroid-style exploration. After several requests and growing interest, I’ve decided to bring Jackroid to Steam—for free—as a thank you to everyone who’s supported my game dev journey. This is the first game that I built after quitting PCL work (aka automation) seven years ago. 

About the Game

Play as Jackroid—the first machine-human hybrid built for deep space exploration. Journey across mysterious galaxies and uncharted planets in search of your identity and purpose. Along the way, uncover hidden upgrades, solve environmental puzzles, and fight to protect the future of the human race.

• 🪐 Open Map Exploration
  Inspired by the classics—discover secret areas and unlock powerful abilities as you traverse hand-crafted alien worlds.

• 🤖 Action-Platforming Combat
  Fast-paced gameplay and satisfying controls designed to challenge and reward.

• 🧠 Puzzles & Upgrades
  Use your wits and tools to access new paths and evolve your abilities.

• 🎭 Story, Characters & Cutscenes
  Dive into a narrative about identity, humanity, and courage in the face of isolation.

• 🎮 Built With Love
  Originally made for my nephew's 11th birthday—this is more than just a game, it’s a memory brought to life.

• Part of the Goliath Corp franchise with upcoming games "Jaws of Hell" and "The Hive Pandemic"

• Controls:

  Arrow keys,

  Z - Jump/Select,

  X - Shoot

  C - Rocket (You must first get the rocket upgrade, see the tailer)

  V - Shrink

  Enter - Map

Why Free?

Jackroid was developed 6 years ago, and while I’ve lost the most recent development build to a house fire, I want to keep the game alive and share it with more people. Until I rebuild it or release Jackroid 2, this game will remain free on Steam. Thanks for being part of this creative journey.

If you want to support me please check out my games on Steam! Like "Path of the Ory," and "Maid of Venia." 

"The Hive Pandemic" will be coming out late this year or early next and is set in the same universe as Jackroid.
