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.
Mysterious island portals unleash plague monsters targeting "Guardian Monuments"—their destruction dooms the island. As defender, use a bow (break armor/hit weak points) and a magic sandtable: place towers, real ones rise to block. Game has VR/desktop versions and map editing for custom levels.
An inexplicable portal has appeared, devouring the surrounding plants and trees. Countless infected skeletons and monsters pour out of the portal, their target being the "Guardian Stone Tablet" on the island. Once the stone tablet is destroyed, the entire island will be completely shrouded in plague.
So far, the plague has eroded several islands and is continuing to spread outward. At this moment, a distress signal comes from a border village: the plague portal has opened, and infected creatures may invade at any time. The Guardian Stone Tablet in the village needs your protection.
You will play the role of a magic tower defender on the island, using a bow and arrow as well as a magical sand table to fend off enemy invasions.
Take control of a mysterious strategic sand table. Every layout and deduction you make here can be mapped in real time and affect the in-game world ahead, as if you possess the magic to manipulate reality. Players can place defense towers on the magical sand table, which corresponds to the in-game map on a 1:1 scale. At the same time, identical defense towers will rise in the real-world scene corresponding to the sand table, and you can use various defense towers to block the enemy's attack.
You not only need to make overall plans and carefully arrange various arrow towers and fortifications; you can also personally draw the bow and shoot arrows, resolving crises with precise shots, and enjoying the dual fun of strategic layout and action operations.
From editing the map with every blade of grass and every tree to designing the level events wave by wave, powerful creation tools are in your hands. Create a unique battlefield and invite friends to challenge your masterpiece. The desktop version of the game allows players to customize maps and levels, letting you build a battlefield of your own.
The game supports two gameplay modes: traditional PC desktop and VR. This allows you to either make strategies in a comfortable setting or step into the battlefield as if you were really there, fully experiencing the thrill of defending and drawing the bow to shoot arrows.
5. Free Shooting Range: Do as You Wish
The shooting range is not only a training camp for honing your archery skills and testing new weapons, but also a safe space where you can move freely, explore, and discover surprises—providing a place to relax amid the intense battles.
This is your strategic core! Here, you can not only configure and upgrade equipment and weapons, and purchase scarce resources, but also move freely. The achievement trophies unlocked in the game will be displayed here, recording your gaming career.
