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.
Build card queues, clear escalating Nodes, unlock new decks and Modules, and chase satisfying combo turns in a chill glass-and-water deckbuilding roguelike.
Choose a starter deck, build your hand into a queue, then execute the whole sequence at once. Cards resolve from left to right, combo bonuses build as the queue continues, and the right setup can turn a modest hand into a huge payoff.
Runs move through repeating Cycles: clear Nodes, visit the Shop, survive Boss Nodes, and collect passive Modules that reshape how your deck plays. Win runs to unlock new starter decks and harder Ascension levels.
Glass Hand is designed to be quick, readable, and atmospheric, with dreamy glass UI, ambient music, and big satisfying number feedback.
Features
Queue-Based Card Play
Instead of playing cards one at a time, build a queue and execute it as a full sequence. Order matters, and every card you add can push the combo higher.
5 Starter Decks
Unlock and play different starter decks, each with its own rhythm. Some focus on clean sequencing, some on money, some on heavy Progress, and some on pushing the Glass system harder.
Glass Combo System
Glass cards extend your queue and help build stronger turns, but they have placement rules. Learning when and where to use Glass is the heart of the game.
Fast Roguelike Runs
Move through structured Cycles of Nodes, Shops, and Boss Nodes. Each run is short, focused, and built around making clean decisions quickly.
Build Around Passive Modules
Defeat Boss Nodes to earn Modules: passive upgrades that change how your queues behave, pay out, and scale over the run.
Simple, Readable Resources
Manage Progress, Energy, and Money without getting buried in menus. The focus stays on the cards, the queue, and the next decision.
Deckbuilding With Clean Choices
Add cards, remove weak cards, buy upgrades, and shape your deck toward bigger, smoother turns.
Ascension Progression
Winning unlocks harder Ascension levels that add new pressure to future runs. Push higher as your decks and strategy improve.
Dreamy Glass Aesthetic
A soft Frutiger Aero-inspired visual style with animated UI, watery shaders, ambient backgrounds, and a calm electronic soundtrack.
Chill, But Still Strategic
Glass Hand is built around flow and readability, but the pressure still rises. Nodes get harder, upkeep increases, and Boss Nodes test whether your deck can keep up.
The Core Loop
Choose a starter deck.
Clear a Node.
Queue your cards.
Execute the combo.
Earn rewards.
Improve your deck.
Survive the next Cycle.
Glass Hand is for players who like deckbuilders, satisfying combo turns, clean UI, and games that feel good to play.
