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.
Steam & Steel — Railway Tycoon puts you at the helm of a dieselpunk railway empire. Manage stations, locomotives, and resources, then dive into real-time simulation with dynamic maps, evolving fleets, and strategic decisions that shape your network’s rise.
Your railway legacy begins with a steaming locomotive. How far will you go?
Steam & Steel Railway Tycoon is a strategic management simulator where every minute counts. Build routes between forgotten workshops, expand stations across Europe’s capitals, and make real-time decisions to transform a small family business into a continental empire. Every choice leaves its mark on your margins, your reputation, and your survival.
Travel through seven historic metropolises —Barcelona, Lyon, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, and Rotterdam— each recreated with its own challenges and demands.
The routes exist, but mastering them is up to you: from cheap wooden tracks to high-speed magnetic rails.
Dynamic weather covers entire regions with storms, fog, or frost, forcing you to reroute trains and adjust fares on the fly.
Every locomotive is unique: upgrade chassis, boilers, and electric systems to define its role within your network.
Assign specialized staff to boost performance — engineers reduce coal consumption, mechanics prevent breakdowns, and concierges improve passenger comfort.
Keep your fleet in shape in dedicated workshops, or risk critical failures that can block entire routes.
Time never stops: the game runs in real time (with strategic pause) as buildings produce, employees get paid, and resources run out.
Stations: expand platforms, add boutique hotels and premium services to multiply passenger flow.
Workshops: organize maintenance shifts, calibrate spare parts, and avoid unexpected downtime.
Heavy industry: coal mines, sawmills, steelworks, and refineries keep your expansion going without relying on external markets.
Signaling network: towers and relays reduce idle time and enable denser routes without bottlenecks.
Innovation labs: unlock groundbreaking projects, from quantum engines to dynamic ticket systems.
Stock market: invest in six corporations with systemic behaviors. Anticipate crises, ride the boom, or ignore the market and double down on infrastructure.
Legendary auctions: bid for historic locomotives with unique bonuses against aggressive rivals. Will you risk your liquidity for a behemoth that burns 25% less coal?
International trade: sign contracts with shipyards, mining consortiums, or luxury airlines. Import resources while paying tariffs — or build your own production chain.
Global modifiers change each session: government bailouts, stock crashes, subsidies, or unpredictable strikes.
Narrative decisions with permanent consequences: accept bribes, donate artifacts, negotiate with unions, or face mass layoffs.
Extreme weather events —winter storms, tourist festivals, persistent rain— reshape demand and maintenance priorities across your network.
Earn reputation through punctuality, safety, and infrastructure milestones to unlock trains like the Zenith Storm, elite staff, and unique buildings such as the Celestial Observatory, Temporal Forge, and Aurora Refinery.
Invest in permanent innovation projects that affect your entire company and redefine your playstyle.
Face self-contained community challenges in the Daily Run mode.
Discover a roguelike system of project cards, talents, and railway relics that reshapes every playthrough from the start.
Use prestige currency to unlock permanent upgrade trees, map variants, and mutators that alter the beginning of each new company.
Earn exclusive rewards and build prestige to modify the meta-game: optional rules, passive bonuses, and new scenario variants.
Choose between Story (tutorial mode) and Infernal, for a truly unforgiving experience.
Complete global goals (50 reputation, eight locomotives, 100 trips on the Zenith line) and tactical missions with unique rewards.
Capture temporary resource nodes before they vanish, balancing the risk of diverting trains from main routes.
Competing companies share your tracks, influence demand, and force you to adjust prices and schedules.
Spy on their locomotives, study their configurations, and outmatch them in efficiency and comfort.
True depth without overload: complex systems presented with clarity and a strategic pause always available.
Infinite replayability: procedural maps, dynamic events, and narrative choices with real consequences.
A polished retrofuturistic aesthetic blending steel, steam, and industrial neon.
Constant updates expanding game modes, mechanics, and narrative content.
Your first locomotive is already waiting in the depot.
Passengers demand punctuality, investors want results, and the government is watching your every move.
Forge a legendary legacy—or become just another forgotten name in the history books.
🚂 Steam & Steel Railway Tycoon needs you.
Climb aboard and conquer the rails!
