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 funny, emotional text-based romance where your awkward crush meets accidental magic. Make branching choices, build relationships, and maybe ruin Valentine’s Day with a love potion that definitely shouldn’t have worked.
You’re Rayne: dramatic, clever, painfully honest, and hopelessly in love with a theater boy who barely knows her name. Valentine’s Day starts with a staged self-love ritual and a misspelled cookie... and quickly spirals. Armed with a suspiciously ancient spellbook discovered in her attic, Rayne brews a magical “Elixir of Affection” in a misguided attempt to make her crush, Phoenix, finally notice her. But love isn’t that simple, and neither is magic. What starts as a desperate Valentine’s scheme morphs into a tangled web of secrets, unexpected friendships, and consequences.
Every choice matters: snarky remarks, sincere apologies, reckless potions, and awkward moments with ex-best-friends or mortal enemies shape Rayne’s path. The story branches with each decision, determining not only how the drama unfolds, but how Rayne grows. Will she gain confidence or spiral into anxiety? Earn loyalty or burn bridges?
Romance, rivalry, identity, and the occasional milk mustache all collide in this heartfelt, hilarious tale of teen love, self-discovery, and magic gone slightly wrong.
