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.
You've come to the village to "recharge." An hour later, you're looking for something you've lost, sniffing incense in a barn, and arguing with people who smile when it suits them. Here, a glance, a pause, and what's under the rug decide everything.
An hour later, you're already looking for a missing person on the outskirts—and it's not an easy walk. Dusk, a cold wind, the gates of the old courtyard creak, and the smell of incense comes from the barn: someone was doing something there recently, and this smell suddenly seems like a clue. You're arguing with people who smile when it suits them; their smiles are thinner than a knife. In this game, everything is decided by a glance, a pause, and what unexpectedly hides under the rug.
Grekhovka doesn't like unnecessary questions. Grekhovka presses with silence, glances and quiet condemnation. But if you start digging, you'll get answers. Your answers and other people's answers: the game knows how to reflect your decisions like in a mirror, showing not only the truth about losing, but also about yourself. Sometimes the answer is an epiphany, sometimes a punch in the gut.
What awaits you:
• One evening, multiple endings — each decision changes the course of events and closes some paths, opening others.
• Inspect the premises with attention to detail: listen to the steps, inspect things, find little things that will tell a lot about the owner.
Interrogate with character: choose your tone, pauses, and questions; body language and smiles are more important than words.
• Elections without prompts — their consequences are tangible and irreversible. This means not only moral damage: sometimes the consequences have a taste of iron (wounds, blood) and the smell of strong coffee in the morning.
• The atmosphere of the village: religious symbols, cigarette smoke, booze in pubs — everything is woven into the life and motivation of the characters, and not for the sake of outrage.
Tone and themes: the dark, tense atmosphere of the detective story, moral ambiguity, psychological tension and small human weaknesses. The game/plot doesn't answer all the questions — you need to make a choice and accept the results.
