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 first-person psychological horror game where you throw glowing orbs to navigate a collapsing mine — and uncover the dark truth behind your missing father.
Lightless is a first-person psychological horror game set in the depths of an abandoned mine. You descend into the darkness to search for your missing father — but what you find is something far more disturbing.
The mine swallows light, leaving you vulnerable. Your only means of navigating the void are glowing orbs of light that you can throw into the darkness, illuminating the path ahead and revealing what lurks in the shadows.
Through exploration, scattered notes, and fleeting encounters, the story unfolds — a slow descent into memory, guilt, and the fragile line between reality and delusion.
Throw Light into Darkness – Use orbs to illuminate your surroundings and guide your path.
Atmospheric Horror – Tension-driven experience built on dread, silence, and sudden terror rather than jump scares alone.
Psychological Storytelling – A narrative that blurs the line between reality and delusion, told through notes, environments, and symbolic encounters.
Immersive First-Person Perspective – Navigate claustrophobic tunnels and oppressive spaces where every sound and shadow matters.
Exploration & Discovery – Uncover hidden notes, environmental details, and clues that piece together the protagonist’s haunting truth.
Self-Contained Experience – Designed to be completed in one or two sittings for maximum immersion.
