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.
Two criminals chained together on the run, where every jump, stumble, and crash is shared — and every mistake drags your buddy down with you. Trip, and fumble through cops, hazards, and ragdoll chaos in this physics-based co-op escape where teamwork is mandatory and freedom is anything but smooth
Cuffed Buddies is a ragdoll-driven, physics-based co-op adventure where two unlucky criminals break free from prison — but not from each other. Chained wrist-to-wrist, you and a partner must stumble, scramble, and scheme your way through cops, hazards, and hilarious disasters in a desperate bid for freedom.
You and your buddy aren’t masterminds — you’re just two small-time crooks who happened to escape during a prison transfer gone wrong. But there’s a catch: the cuffs never came off. Now, every step of your journey to freedom is complicated by the iron chain linking you together. What should be a quick getaway turns into a slapstick struggle against the world, the law, and your own clumsy coordination.
Physics-Driven Co-Op: Every move matters because you’re both physically tethered. Run too far ahead and you’ll drag your partner to the ground. Mis-time a jump and you’ll yank each other into the pit below.
Shared Momentum: Use the chain to swing each other across gaps, climb together, or fling your buddy like a wrecking ball. Success requires teamwork — failure leads to comedy.
Dynamic Ragdoll Chaos: The game’s ragdoll physics turn mistakes into hilarious moments. Expect faceplants, pratfalls, and awkward flailing as you fight against the world (and each other).
Hazards & Enemies: From patrolling cops to environmental traps, the world won’t make your escape easy. Outsmart guards, dodge vehicles, and improvise with anything you can grab.
Grab, Throw, Wreck: Pick up weapons, toss objects, or literally throw your buddy at enemies and obstacles. The chain is both a curse and a tool — learn to use it.
Your ultimate goal is simple: escape together. But every level introduces new challenges that force you to rethink how you move and cooperate. One stage might test your timing with tricky jumps, while another demands clever use of the chain to bypass guards or environmental hazards.
As you progress, you’ll discover more chaotic scenarios — collapsing bridges, tight corridors, vertical climbs — each one pushing your teamwork (and patience) to its limit.
Campaign Mode: A series of handcrafted levels designed to challenge your coordination, timing, and creativity.
Endless Chaos: Thanks to ragdoll physics, no two runs ever play out the same way. Even failure is part of the fun.
Co-Op Options: Play online or locally with a friend — laughter and frustration guaranteed either way.
The game features a lighthearted, cartoony art style to emphasize slapstick chaos rather than gritty realism. A playful soundtrack keeps the mood fun, while sound effects amplify the ridiculousness of every stumble, crash, and scream.
Unlike most co-op games where players can split up, Cuffed Buddies forces you to always act as one. Every victory feels earned, every mistake is shared, and every moment creates a story worth retelling. It’s a game where teamwork is mandatory, failure is hilarious, and friendship is put to the ultimate test.
Can you escape when freedom means never letting go?
