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 mech-based Vampire Survivors / Tower Defense hybrid where almost every run ends in defeat, but each one makes you stronger. Customize your mech, unlock global perks, and survive as many waves as you can before the swarm overwhelms you.
Guard Protocol is a mech-based Vampire Survivors / Tower Defense hybrid where survival isn’t about winning, it’s about lasting as long as you can. Each wave grows stronger, every run ends in defeat, and the only question is: how long can you hold the line?
Customize your mech across every system, legs, body, engine, generator, weapons, and shoulder mounts, to define your own playstyle. Between runs, use resources earned from fallen enemies to unlock permanent global perks and upgrade your mech’s core components, expanding your tactical options for the next attempt.
Each run offers randomized perks and augments that shape your strategy on the fly: faster reloads, explosive shells, piercing rounds, electrical damage, and more. The right combination can turn your mech into a walking fortress, but no build lasts forever.
Battle through endless waves of enemies, mini-missions, and boss encounters that escalate with each cycle. Every defeat makes you stronger, pushing you to survive just one more wave.
Key Features:
Deep mech customization across multiple systems
Permanent global perks for evolving long-term strategy
Randomized perks for unique builds each run
Endless wave-based survival with escalating challenge
Boss encounters and mini-missions that break the flow
Meaningful progression through cash and core rewards
