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 potent vibe simulator and dreamcore powerhouse, Loutra opens its inaugural group show. Thirteen artists display their work within a world of crude, deteriorating pixels.

Introduction

Loutra is a geothermal bathhouse and its surrounding outbuildings, inspired by the municipal baths of Mandraki in Nisyros, Greece.

It is a virtual art space for you to reside in - a small, contemplative world to return to from time to time.

Loutra receives regular updates that manipulate and subvert its environment, introducing new experiments, artworks, and ideas.

Come back whenever you like.

Features

• A unique digital atmosphere with a nostalgic, decayed aesthetic

• In-game tools that alter your perception of space and content

• A hand-crafted world filled with quiet details and subtle quirks

• A persistent environment with a fragmented history that changes over time, hosting new exhibitions and experiences

• A nonlinear, hybrid walking simulator / immersive sim - a "loitering simulator"

• Over 20 artworks spanning sculpture, painting, audio, film, installation, and interactive digital media

• An exhibition guide listing all contributing artists and their works

• Online chatroom

• Make a coffee, take a bath, sit by the water

Statement

"...But it will be wonderfully pleasant to be able to transform at will an empty hour, an interminable evening, an endless Sunday, into an enchantment, an expression of tenderness, a flight of the spirit."

• The Conquest of Ubiquity, Paul Valéry (1928)

Loutra situates itself in the unstable terrain between memory and simulation - a nostalgic yet bit-rotten cyberspace that resists the smooth veneer of corporate virtuality. In its inaugural group show, Loutra accommodates the voices of thirteen artists within a world of crude, deteriorating pixels. What emerges is a slow unfolding of atmospheres.

Born from an artist residency in 2019, Loutra began as both an act of preservation and a response to the rise of digital-curatorial experimentation. Initially a virtual artist residency in the form of a videogame, it evolved through a series of beta exhibitions and exercises in subtractive design, becoming a continuous, dreamlike digital space.

Loutra is a living work. Though complete in form, it continues to change through periodic updates, new exhibitions, and online events.

Loutra is self-funded and free-to-play. External links are provided where you can support its continued development; any donations are deeply appreciated.
