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.
Qin Nian, who had just graduated when the financial crisis hit and found himself unemployed at home, accidentally obtained a secret manual from an old beggar. Little did he realize that this manual would not only alter the course of his life but also lift a veil on the reality of the world.
In an age of uncertainty, every choice can reshape the course of a life.
You play as Qi Nian, a recent college graduate whose dreams collide head-on with a financial crisis. Stepping into the real world full of hope, he soon finds himself trapped by unemployment, confusion, and loneliness. Just as he reaches his breaking point, a mysterious system called “Fortune Reversal” suddenly alters his destiny.
One night, after opening a strange life manual, Qi Nian becomes bound to an unknown system. From that moment on, choice panels and relationship meters begin to appear in the real world itself. This extraordinary ability allows him to re-examine his life and regain control over situations that once felt impossible to change.
Through encounters with his college roommate Zhao Tingting and other women he meets along the way — including model Linna, superstar Jia Yun Wu, mature and enigmatic Yuxin Yu, and flight attendant Yalin Feng — every interaction becomes a turning point.
Will you grow closer, or keep your distance?
Chase your dreams, or choose stability?
Compromise with reality, or challenge fate itself?
There are no “correct” answers — only the consequences of your choices.
