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 relaxing pixel art idle digging game. A clever little rat uncovers treasures beneath a tropical island while running on top of all applications. Upgrade your stats, sell your finds, and progress at your own pace.
Dig. Discover. Relax. Always on top.
Idle Rat: Island Digger is a cozy idle digging game about small progress, quiet satisfaction, and watching a tiny worker do its thing while you focus on whatever else youโre doing.
A clever little rat has arrived on a peaceful tropical island, and beneath the sand lies a whole world waiting to be uncovered. Dig through layers of sand and stone, discover hidden treasures, sell what you find, and slowly turn effort into steady progress.
The game is designed to be always on top of all applications. It stays visible above everything else on your desktop, so your rat keeps digging while you work, browse, watch videos, or relax. You can freely move and resize the window to fit your perfect setup. This is not just a feature, it is the core experience.
Play actively or let it run quietly in the background. Your rat never stops working.
Watch your rat dig automatically, layer by layer. There is no rush, no pressure, and no failure. Just steady progress as the underground slowly reveals its secrets.
As you dig deeper, you will uncover valuable resources and rare items hidden beneath the island. Everything you dig can be sold to earn coins, which you then use to grow stronger and dig even further.
Customize your progress with 6 different upgrades, each changing how your rat works underground:
๐ Speed
Dig faster and reach deeper layers more quickly.
๐ Luck
Increase your chances of finding rare and valuable items.
๐ด Rest Time
Reduce downtime so your rat gets back to digging sooner.
๐ฐ Sell Bonus
Earn more coins from every item you sell.
๐ Inventory Capacity
Carry more items before needing to sell.
๐ค Auto Sell
Automatically sell items to keep progress flowing smoothly.
Each upgrade pushes you deeper and makes the idle loop more satisfying.
Idle Rat is not just about numbers. You can personalize your little island by purchasing and equipping different skins.
๐ Character Skins
Change your ratโs appearance by purchasing and equipping different skins.
โบ Tents
Buy and switch between different tent designs to customize your island.
๐ช Chairs
Replace your chair with cozy alternatives to complete your setup.
Buy them, equip them, and create a setup that feels uniquely yours.
The always on top window turns Idle Rat into a companion game. It lives on your screen while you do other things, quietly making progress. Resize it, move it anywhere, and let it blend into your daily routine.
Enjoy a peaceful tropical atmosphere brought to life with charming pixel art and smooth idle animations. Everything is designed to feel relaxing, warm, and unobtrusive.
Idle Rat: Island Digger is about slowing down, enjoying small wins, and letting progress happen naturally.
Sit back, keep it on top, and let your tiny rat dig deeper. ๐๐
