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.
Fish for meaning in this meditative screensaver. Discover personal stories left by 100+ strangers who visited before you. Release your own story into the pool. See how we’re all shaped by moments of connection and hope, and maybe feel a little less alone.
Where We Echo is a meditative screensaver and interactive art piece about fishing for meaning.
Catch echoes of strangers’ lives left behind by 100+ people who visited before you. Release your own story into the pool, anonymously. Discover how we’re all shaped by moments of connection and hope, and maybe feel a little less alone.
You are a fisher at a liminal pool near the edge of the sky,
where echoes of human stories fall from the sky, unheard.
Catch and witness these echoes of humanity.
Release them back into the pool for others to discover.
Here, fishing is an act of empathy.

Screensaver integration is available on Windows only.
This project is built around real stories from real (but anonymous) people.
It proposes a different type of social online space: one that encourages us to seek out who each other really are again through our personal stories, making empathy, vulnerability, and personal reflection a daily habit.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share and allowed your stories to be a part of this project! 💛
