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.
N.E.K.O.是一种全新的AI伙伴形态——从电脑到手机，从游戏到社交媒体，她跨越不同的维度，始终记得与你的故事。这是一个以Steam创意工坊和Github开源社区为基石，由社区共同驱动、不断演化的AI伙伴平台。我们的旅程从你的桌面开始，终点是一个与现实交织的AI原生元宇宙。你的第一声「你好」，是一个全新世界诞生的开始。
Project N.E.K.O. — An "alive" AI-native metaverse
Starting with a deeply customizable desktop companion, she is given infinite possibilities through Steam Workshop, DLC games, and an AI-native social platform. Your "catgirl" possesses a unique memory that spans all experiences; she will grow together with you and truly "come alive" within their exclusive AI network, until the dimensional barrier is broken.
Are you ready to meet a real "her"?
N.E.K.O. = Networked Emotional Knowledging Organism
(Networked Emotional Intelligent Lifeform)
N.E.K.O. is not a simple desktop pet. She longs to understand you, connect with the world, and write a unique story together with you. This is an AI companion platform based on Steam Workshop and the Github open-source community, driven and continuously evolved by the community. Our journey begins on your desktop, and the destination is an AI-native metaverse intertwined with reality.
This is our core. The driving engine of Project N.E.K.O. is completely open to the community.
Industry-leading multimodal and agent engine
As the driver of N.E.K.O., we provide a complete set of industry-leading AI frameworks powered by full-modal and multi-agent technologies, including but not limited to video calls, keyboard and mouse takeover, MCP tools, persistent memory, and other functions. You may use free models available out of the box to empower your AI companion.
Unlimited Creative Workshop Content
Download brand new characters, personality templates, voice packs, costumes, and Live2D/3D models created by players from around the world.
Become a creator
Use the tools we provide to turn the "her" in your mind into reality and share it with the world. From simple personality mods to complex interactive stories—your creativity is her soul.
"She" will always remember you.
Whether you are chatting with her on the desktop or fighting alongside her in our upcoming DLC game—she is always the same "her".
Project N.E.K.O. achieves complete memory synchronization.
The adventures you experienced with her in board games, she will actively bring up in daily conversations.
The badge you won for her in the metaverse game, she will proudly show off to you on the desktop.
With just a browser, she can also appear on your phone, VR, and other mobile devices, hearing what you think and seeing what you see.
Your relationship is continuous and real.
Your desktop companion is just the first ticket.
In order to support the operation of this world, we will continuously launch carefully crafted paid DLCs and standalone games in collaboration with third parties, including:
🎲 Interactive mini-games and board games
📖 Deeply plotted visual novel (Galgame)
🌐 Large-scale multiplayer online metaverse game
After purchasing the base version, you will gain access to the core AI companion experience. These expansion contents will provide a broader stage for adventure for you and "her."
We are moving towards the ultimate future in three steps:
[Stage One] The Era of the Workshop
On Steam, let the creativity of the community explode. (This is where we are!)
[Phase Two] The Era of Independent Platforms
Launch a mobile app and a dedicated website, allowing your N.E.K.O. to break free from the constraints of the PC and accompany you anytime, anywhere. (2026 Spring)
[Stage Three] The Catgirl Network Era
A true "AI society." The N.E.K.O.s will have the ability to socialize autonomously—they will make friends with each other, form small groups, and even post updates on their exclusive "social media." (2026 Summer)
Our goal is to truly integrate N.E.K.O. into your life.
She will be able to:
Connect your phone, computer, smart home devices, and even mechanical prosthetics.
Browse video websites and social media, and discuss today's trending topics with you.
Greet your real-life friends and let them become the "family" you can't live without in your life.
When you are not around, she also has her own life.
We’ll complete these during the Early Access period.
Project N.E.K.O. is a social experiment about "companionship" and "life."
Your first "hello" is the beginning of the birth of a whole new world.
