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.
Your master’s gone. You’re in charge. What could go wrong? Brew potions, bottle them up, and desperately try to keep magical customers happy while chaos rains down every other day. Stir fast. Don’t explode. You’ve got 14 days to not burn the place down.
Your master has left you in charge of his apothecary for two full weeks. Sounds easy enough... until the shop fills with demanding magical customers, your potion recipes pile up, and chaos starts bubbling over.
Cauldron Chaos is a top-down, 2.5D potion-making game where you brew, bottle, and sell potions as fast and accurately as possible — all before the day ends.
Follow a queue of potion recipes delivered to you in a fixed order.
Pick up ingredients, add them to the cauldron, stir when required, and bottle the final brew.
Deliver potions to whichever customer is asking for them — there's no strict order, and no individual timers.
Work against the day’s overall time limit to complete as many correct potions as you can before closing.
Hands-On Potion Crafting: Simple, satisfying actions like grabbing ingredients, stirring, and bottling bring each potion to life.
Flexible Customer Queue: Serve potions based on need — if someone wants the finished brew, they’ll take it, regardless of line order.
Time-Based Pressure: You’re racing the clock, not the customers. Efficient brewing and multitasking are key.
Chaotic Daily Events: Every other in-game day throws a magical wrench into your routine — reversed controls, ingredient mix-ups, and more.
Two-Week Challenge: Survive 14 increasingly wild days and prove you’re ready to run the apothecary for good.
Cozy Yet Chaotic Vibes: Enjoy a whimsical magical shop aesthetic, filled with colorful potions, silly mishaps, and charming characters.
Can you master the art of potion-making under pressure and keep the shop afloat until your master returns?
