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 retrowave/mecha-inspired sci-fi first-person shooter featuring fast-paced combat in old-school style open-plan levels packed with pickups, keys, and secrets.
You play Ethelyn Dax, Galactic Bounty Hunter extraordinaire. Finally settling in for a long-awaited vacation on the resort world of Ctesiphon, the moment is ruined by the surprise arrival of the Black Death mercenary company.
Taking the capital city and every surrounding resort hostage as part of a payment dispute, the mercenaries expected to meet no physical resistance.
Ethelyn would be perfectly content to simply get her money back and leave the resort to sort things out with the mercenaries themselves, but as it turns out the force is led by a shadow from Ethelyn's own past that she can't simply let get away.
The Black Death mercenaries have brought so many troops, clones, drones, and mechs that they expect absolutely no resistance from the resort patrons. You will prove that complacency unfounded.
Take advantage of the mercenaries' inattention with Ethelyn's trusty Data-Spike, perforate them with the trusty Submachinegun, blast them around corners with the Gyrobuster's homing minirockets, or bring out the Jetgun to cut through heavy armor as if it were mere paper.
Ethelyn is highly nimble and can run circles around most enemies who will have to resort to overwhelming force to try and stop you. The game features seven mainline levels built in a non-linear layout allowing you to flank enemies and search for secrets.
Made in bits and pieces over the course of nearly a decade by a single developer on Linux using C/C++, OpenGL, and open-source Quake mapping tools, Ctesiphon's custom engine allows for the game to run reliably on low-spec systems. It's built to withstand large firefights with dozens of enemies, hundreds of blood spatter and bullet impact decals, and piles of giblets and scrap as you blow the enemies apart into clouds of particles and debris.
Ctesiphon has been developed on Linux first and supports virtually all controllers connected to it. On Windows only XInput-compatible controllers are supported natively, but others will work fine with SteamInput enabled. The big exception is for the Steam Deck and Steam Controllers, these won't be natively supported on Linux/SteamOS until after release but in the meantime they should work fine if you play the Windows build by setting compatibility to any version of Proton.
