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.
Alter the terrain to change your fate. In this roguelite tower defense game, the board expands every turn. Use cards to reshape paths and defend your castle.
Orrin's Chessboard is a tower defense game that combines dynamic paths, resource management, and roguelike progression. The board expands dynamically each round, constantly presenting new challenges. Gather materials from resource tiles, upgrade defensive towers to stop the monsters, choose one of three roguelike upgrades, and remember — every building you place will change the enemies’ path. Can you withstand wave after wave of monsters and protect your small castle?
100+ three-choice roguelike upgrades
20+ levels, 20+ hours of gameplay
Multiple upgrade paths for towers, different resource requirements, route reshaping, and deep strategic choices
High replayability with near-infinite run possibilities
As the game progresses, different roguelike upgrades become available to choose from, opening up a wide range of strategic possibilities.
Each round you can purchase cards from the shop, bringing a form of controlled randomness. With limited information in front of you, observation and decision-making are key — every move shapes the battlefield.
The board tiles change every round, creating countless possibilities. Can you adapt, use every terrain and resource wisely, and withstand endless waves of enemies?
Board generation is influenced by natural terrain, offering various strategic choices. Some special tiles provide unique effects — for example:
Portal: Instantly teleports monsters, potentially shifting the tide of battle.
Enemy Altar: Heals monsters, forcing you to rethink your route.
Smart placement will showcase your tactical intelligence.
A wide variety of monsters appear, progressing from easy to challenging and testing your defenses. In response, you can build many types of towers, from the Archer Tower to the Crystal Tower, each with its own strategic value.
Resources are the core of strategy. Building and upgrading towers requires materials, and purchasing cards requires gold. Everything is interconnected — you must gather, deploy, and manage efficiently to establish a functioning system on the board.
The game features four themes: Classic Forest, Autumn, Desert, and Ice & Snow. Each theme brings a unique visual style and board generation pattern. Across many chapters and levels — can you clear them all and earn every star on the hardest difficulty?
The stylized visuals create immersion, with each theme offering its own atmosphere. Plan, think, and break through — and enjoy the pure satisfaction of victory through strategy.
