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.
In this pixel adventure, Ürgel walks through a village crumbling with byllars, guided by the cosmology of the Sakha people and the memory of his ancestors, the Öbüge. As the permafrost collapses and the Earth warms, he searches for meaning on a quiet journey for jam.
One day, your mom sent you to the store to buy jam for tea.
You walk along a road that winds through a slowly collapsing yakutian village, where houses sink into the ground and the land loses its grip.
In Sakha Sire, the degradation of permafrost is especially visible in places like Sylan, Usun-Kyuyol, Zyryanka, Churapcha, and Yukechi — and many others. Soon it will reach the boy’s home too — a child of the Sakha people, whose house sits right in the heart of a thermokarst zone. It’s one of the consequences of industrialization and widespread deforestation, heating the planet and unraveling the balance.
Thermokarst, Sylan Village
Troubled by what he sees, the boy begins to wonder what part he can play in healing his homeland, where families are being displaced and entire homes stand empty as the ground sinks and floods roll in. His path is a slow walk, filled with quiet reflections, brief encounters with ichchi (local spirits), and glimpses into Sakha cosmology — a way of seeing and understanding the world.
This is a slice-of-life exploration game with short interactive episodes.
You’ll live one evening before summer break through the boy’s eyes — choosing dialogue options, exploring secret paths, uncovering quiet, hidden stories. There’s no world to save here — just a small tale about the mystery of ordinary things, and the strangeness of life in Orto Doidu.
