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.
Hop n' Hook is a platforming-fishing game set across three distinct zones, built around movement, exploration, and collection. Swing with your rod, explore open-ended zones, and catch over 100 unique fish—some of which fight back in reactive boss encounters.
Hop N Hook is a platforming-fishing game set across three distinct zones, built around movement, exploration, and collection.
You play as Hoppe Jr., using a fishing rod that doubles as a grappling hook. Swing across gaps, scale cliffs, and cast into remote ponds to reel in over 50 unique fish. Some are simple. Others fight back—pulling you into short, reactive boss encounters that break the calm with bursts of tension.
The world is open and layered with secrets. Optional quests and side paths reward players who take their time, while platforming challenges and precision grappling keep movement fast and satisfying.
There’s no combat. No timers. Just a steady rhythm of hopping, casting, and exploring a world that quietly unfolds as you go.
