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.

Lightbender is a bright, colorful, and fun puzzle game based on the physics of light. Use prisms, mirrors, lenses, and dark matter to change the color and direction of light to solve each grid.

Lightbender is a bright, colorful, and fun puzzle game based on the physics of light. Hit the targets by manipulating beams of different colors. Use prisms to split the lights, mirrors to bend the lights, lenses to combine the lights, and dark matter to invert the lights!

Play 240 puzzles with 5 difficulty levels!

You can even build your own puzzles! Challenge your friends by sharing your levels.


Place a mirror on the grid to bend the light. You can rotate mirrors to redirect the beams toward the goal.



Prisms split lights into their components. Hit multiple targets by breaking one beam of light into multiple colors.

White becomes Red, Green, and Blue.
Yellow becomes Red and Green.
Magenta becomes Red and Blue.
Cyan becomes Green and Blue.



Lenses combine lights to produce a new color. Place them on the grid to transform two or three beams of light into one new color. Think of them as the opposite of prisms.



Dark Matter turns a beam of light into the opposite color.
Red becomes Cyan and vice versa
Green becomes Magenta and vice versa
Blue becomes Yellow and vice versa

As the levels progress in difficulty, you'll have to use all of these tools in combination with one another to hit all of the targets!



Think you've got the skills to outwit your friends? Create your own levels using one or all of the tools listed above.
