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.
Colonize a galaxy in 256 colors! In this RiscOS gem from 1997, the fate of human civilization lies in your hands. Travel the stars, claim uninhabited planets or fight over them against your alien opponents. Your ultimate chance to relive the original experience, on the PC for the first time ever.
Can you rule a galaxy? In this retro style strategic simulation, the first game by Deck13 co-founder Jan Klose (from when he was still young and believed in the good of mankind), you can prove your strategic skills! Travel the stars, claim uninhabited planets or conquer them from your computer opponents. Exodus was first released on the Acorn RISCOS platform back in 1997! This first-time PC port is your ultimate chance to relive the experience.
A whole galaxy of pixel perfect solar systems is waiting for you. Claim uninhabited worlds and make them the new home of humankind. But beware, there are over 10 computer opponents from 4 different alien races to be taken into account! Some are friendly, some are hostile... but it's upon you whether you fight, trade, or forge strong alliances. Enjoy the interactive 1997's space opera soundtrack by legendary Acorn composer Thomas Mohr (Avatar).
Each planet features a map where you can place cities, factories, farmland and much more. But beware, you need to take into account the planet's climate and its resources in order to keep your world alive. Depending on the planet's climate, your agricultural areas might be prone to collapsing, and the nuclear power plants can have messy accidents. Clever planning can get you a long way, but the unexpected might always happen.
Allow narcotics? Weapons for civilians? Different religions? You can change the laws on your planets, but beware: if your people don't agree with the way they're treated, they might rebel against you!
Produce troops to defend your planet or to attack the planets of others. Battles are fought on a tactical map where you can deploy 3 different types of combat units and then command each of them in turn based battles! (Unless you want your general to do the dirty work for you, that is.)
If you set aside funding for your scientists, they will come up with new inventions: passive and active improvements to help you automatize processes and become more powerful. Ultimately, you will be able to create a whole artificial planet that you can even move between solar systems.
More skilled officers will help you in your different fields of action, but beware: good personnel is a costly matter!

You're not alone. Not only are there several other leaders in the galaxy, but you'll also have to fend off pesky space pirates and brace your planet for orbital bombardments or incoming asteroids. You can equip your starship and your fleet, and upgrade it along the way.
The game start features several configurations. You can pick your name, your gender (or specify your own), and the flag of your empire. You can choose between several difficulty modes. You can pick various objectives (go for conquest, science, or culture) and also choose the size of the galaxy you want to conquer.
