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.
Washout is a single-player first-person horror game where the player must escape a flooded maze inspired by the Bathroom Maze aesthetic while avoiding an irrational threat — a Washing Machine whose behavior defies logic and reason.
Washout is a single-player, first-person horror game. Trapped in a flooded labyrinth inspired by the Bathroom Maze aesthetic, the player must find a way out while evading an unnatural threat — an anomalous Washing Machine whose behavior defies all logic.
Each playthrough offers a unique experience thanks to procedurally generated levels. With limited visibility, sound becomes your most crucial ally — the acoustic environment is key to navigating and surviving.
To avoid getting lost, the player can leave behind markers — bloody smears on the walls. But every mark comes at a cost, draining health and distorting perception, clouding both vision and judgment. Survival becomes a trade-off between maintaining orientation and preserving sanity.
The game’s visual style draws inspiration from VHS and found footage aesthetics: grain, static, and analog artifacts intensify the atmosphere of unease and disorientation.
