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 small, handcrafted tool that recreates the authentic hum, buzz, and flyback resonance of classic CRT displays. Built for retro gaming fans, streamers, and anyone chasing that nostalgic analog soundscape.

About This Software

CRT Synthesizer is a passion project turned tool — a simple yet detailed sound simulator that brings back the subtle, forgotten noises of cathode-ray tube displays.

It doesn’t try to be a studio plugin or a sound workstation. Instead, it focuses purely on authenticity — from the variable pitch of flyback transformers to the faint hum and corona buzz that defined the atmosphere of 80s and 90s screens.

Whether you’re streaming retro games, creating nostalgic videos, or just miss the immersive analog warmth of old displays, this program runs quietly in the background and reproduces those sounds in real time.

Features
• Real-time CRT flyback and yoke resonance emulation
• Adjustable parameters: pitch, hum, arcing, corona noise, and more
• Minimal, functional interface — no fluff, just control
• Works alongside any emulator, game, or desktop environment
• Lightweight CPU footprint and simple setup

Who It’s For
• Retro gaming enthusiasts
• Streamers and YouTubers seeking authentic CRT ambience
• Developers and sound designers who appreciate real hardware character

A Note from the Developer
This project started as a personal experiment in nostalgia — a curiosity about whether the sound of a flyback transformer could be synthesized convincingly in software.
It grew into something people seemed to love, and with your support, it continues to improve.

Thank you for supporting small, independent projects like this — they keep these little pockets of history alive in sound form.

Just a remark - if you observed that on browser streaming services the program does not react to monitor changes, this is because it most probably is caused by 'DRM'. What you have to do is disable 'hardware acceleration' in your browser settings, and it should work fine.
