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.
Dive into the heart of cycling management with an ever more realistic simulation. From recruitment and staff, to season planning and race strategy, make every decision and lead your team to victory in the sport’s biggest competitions.
SMARTER, MORE STRATEGIC SEASON PLANNING
In Pro Cycling Manager 26, season planning has been completely overhauled to give you greater immersion and control. Shape your team’s hierarchy, assign roles to each rider, and organise your squad by speciality or versatility to get the most out of your roster.
Every race on the calendar now carries one of four priority levels, allowing you to identify the defining moments of your season and commit your strongest assets accordingly. Once your objectives are set, lock in each rider’s programme to ensure your squad is balanced and competitive from spring through to the final races of the year.
At the start of the season, you’ll be given an automatically generated plan, which you’re free to fine-tune to match your goals and constraints. For a more authentic and competitive experience, AI teams now benefit from these same advanced planning tools.
And of course, the unexpected still happens. Crashes, illness or poor form may force you to scale back a leader’s ambitions and rethink their schedule mid-season.
THE MOST REALISTIC DAY FORM YET
The day form system has been fully redesigned for greater realism, introducing two new attributes: Tour Focus and Classics Focus. A rider’s consistency and day-to-day performance now fluctuate more naturally depending on their strengths and the type of race they’re targeting.
A Grand Tour contender will maintain steadier form across multi-stage races, while a Classics specialist will show greater consistency in one-day events. Meanwhile, more unpredictable riders may alternate between brilliance and off-days, just like in the real peloton.
These traits evolve throughout a rider’s career based on their race calendar and the events you enter them in, adding another strategic layer to long-term development.
SAVE TIME WITHOUT SACRIFICING ACCURACY
Race simulation has also evolved with the introduction of Detailed Simulation. Designed for experienced players, it runs on the full 3D race engine – without the visual display – delivering highly consistent and realistic outcomes in just seconds as it calculates the entire event behind the scenes.
Now renamed Instant Result, the previous system is still available, giving you full flexibility. Depending on the race, you can choose between the speed of Instant Result or the enhanced realism of Detailed Simulation.
GREATER FREEDOM IN PRO CYCLIST MODE
Start your Pro Cyclist career your way, with two distinct options: create a rider who looks like you or take control of an existing professional.
Choosing a real-world rider lets you begin at a more advanced level, allocating their initial skill points to tailor their profile to your preferred playstyle.
The contract system has also been refreshed. Transfer opportunities have been redesigned to give you faster access to the sport’s top teams and a clearer path to cycling’s biggest races.
