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.
You've crash-landed on a forgotten planet and must survive in a hostile open world filled with mutated crabs and other enemies. Armed with weapons, a beat-up bike, and a few skills, you'll explore, fight, scavenge, and level up. A compact open-world shooter with light RPG and survival elements.
Think your favorite sci-fi post-apocalyptic action-RPG — just 100 times smaller. A compact, love-made open-world adventure by one solo dev, with zero budget and lots of passion for the genre.
6–7 hours of open-world gameplay — starring crabs, raiders, meat-hungry zombies, and totally deranged robots. Your weapons? A trusty shotgun and a cold bottle of beer.
🦀 Variety of Enemies
Everyone wants you dead, so shoot first. Some charge straight at you, others shoot from a distance, and some just explode right under your feet. You’ll figure it out.
🏜️ Some Kind of Open World
There’s places. Some of them aren’t full of crabs. You can explore if you feel like it. Ride your half-broken bike or just walk.
There are a few quests, a bit of story, some odd radio tunes (including classical and oldies), and plenty of junk to loot and turn into ammo.
🔫 Perks, Guns, Stats.
Pick from pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, carbines — maybe even a katana, if you're feeling fancy. Unlock perks, tweak your stats, and hunt down legendary weapon crates. Go melee, try stealth (not recommended, but technically possible), or just shoot everything that moves.
You also get active abilities — like summoning a robot buddy who’s almost helpful (on a good day).
Built using the finest game engine known to humanity — Unreal Engine 5. Thanks to Lumen lighting and some black magic, even a solo noob like me managed to make things look surprisingly decent. And yeah — it actually runs pretty well.
