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 brutal first-person survival horror set in a Soviet apartment complex after a secret lab explosion. Minimal inventory, no pause — just survive what should not exist.
A forgotten Soviet experiment. A nuclear blast. An entire housing complex twisted into nightmares.
In Genebreak, you step into the shoes of a lone survivor following a mysterious explosion near Chernobyl — not from the reactor, but from a hidden Soviet laboratory buried beneath the city. This lab was experimenting with unstable genetic material, and when it was destroyed, its horrors were unleashed.
The radioactive fallout didn’t just spread — it merged with secret experimental compounds, mutating the residents of a nearby apartment complex into grotesque human-animal hybrids. These aren’t zombies… they’re something much worse: unpredictable, unstable, and violently feral.
Genebreak is a first-person survival horror experience focused on tension, claustrophobic environments, and brutal, high-stakes encounters.
You won’t find crafting systems or quest markers here — just raw survival, limited tools, and relentless terror.
You have just enough space to carry what matters: flashlight batteries, door keys, and vital fuses — but the horror never stops, and there’s no time to breathe. Adapt or die.
Each enemy has unique behavior. Some hunt alone, others swarm. Some stalk you. Some scream to lure others.
The entire game takes place in a single vast Soviet-era apartment block. Every floor, every room, every hallway is hand-designed to tell a story… or conceal a threat.
Start with a chilling cinematic intro — supported by optional subtitles.
Gritty first-person combat with realistic weight and pacing
Mutant designs based on fictional post-Soviet biological horror
Minimal inventory system: manage only what matters — no crafting, no distractions
No hand-holding: No tips, no waypoints, no safety
Designed for quick, intense gameplay sessions — perfect for speedrunners or horror fans alike
Optimized for both low-end and mid-range PCs
Genebreak is not a story of hope — it’s a story of survival against things that should not exist.
Are you ready to face what’s beneath?
