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 chaotic 2D top-down roguelite shooter where you blast through waves of mutant freaks, upgrade ridiculous weapons, and die gloriously. Slime is everywhere. So are the jokes. Survive alone or with a buddy—then do it all again!

A catastrophic slime-ocalypse just turned your city into a buffet for the undead—and guess what? You're the main course...
...but don’t panic! (Actually, panic a little. Okay, that’s just the right amount.)

Grab your best bud (or go full lone-wolf mode) and dive head-first into Monsters and Me—a relentless, round-based, top-down arcade shooter where everything wants to eat your face.
It’s fast. It’s chaotic. It’s funny. It’s gross.
And it’s got PERKS. GUNS. EXPLOSIONS. MORE GUNS.
Also… did we mention slime mutants?

Turn on the power (because nothing works without it, duh).
Buy weapons and supers (BIG ones. LOUD ones. STUPIDLY FUN ones).
Fight off wave after wave of bloodthirsty freaks.
Die horribly. Laugh about it.
Do it again. But, uh, better.

💀 Zombies? LOL. Try Slime Mutant Rage Freaks.
After a citywide sludge explosion, the locals are looking... extra crispy. Good luck!
🔫 18 Upgradable Weapons
Shotguns, rifles, flamethrowers, and more. Each has 3 upgrade levels. That’s math, baby.
🧨 12 Special Abilities
Each one with 3 upgrade levels, designed to wreck the mutant hordes.
🧬 5 Perks to Power You Up
Want faster reloads? Bigger booms? Less dying? We got you.
👥 4 Playable Characters
Play as Brian, Bob, Nina, or Tony—each with their own vibe and catchphrases.
(Spoiler: One of them says “DUDE” a lot.)
🧟♀️ Randomized Waves, Power-Ups & Weapons
Every run is a glorious mess. No two games are the same. That’s what we call replayability (also: chaos).
😂 Comedic Cutscenes & Memeable Moments
Streamer bait? You bet your slime-covered socks. This one’s for the clippers.
🎮 Fluid Controls + Pixel Art Carnage
Old-school arcade vibes with modern spice. All the charm, none of the jank.

One day, BOOM—some genius blows up a waste plant. Next day, sludge-mutants take over the city. You? You’re one of the last humans standing. Armed with nothing but sheer willpower and a really angry shotgun.
Uncover the slime-filled truth behind the outbreak, evolve your loadout, and become the baddest post-apocalyptic slime-slayer this side of the arcade cabinet.

Welcome to the apocalypse, bro.
Grab a buddy or go solo—just don’t forget to reload.
