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.
Set in a stylized anime version of Japan, a charming heroine climbs toward the sky in search of a lost heart-shaped balloon. With checkpoints, auto-saves, and unlockable outfits, you can progress at your own pace. Explore a mysterious world full of branching paths and breathtaking views.
Chase your heart into the sky. In an anime-inspired world set in Japan, a charming office lady challenges boundless heights. Jump, climb, and sometimes fall—all to catch the “heart balloon” a boy let go. Checkpoints are placed throughout, allowing instant recovery with a single button press. Auto-save is also supported, allowing you to progress bit by bit even during short play sessions. Advance through the game to unlock new outfits and freely customize your appearance. Mystical stages inspired by Japanese cityscapes, shrines, and aerial gardens hide multiple paths leading to the goal. No matter how long it takes, if you don't give up, you will surely reach it—a story of climbing “upward” slowly and steadily, alone.
This is an “Only Up!” type game. However, a single mistake won't be fatal; you can resume from checkpoints at various locations. If you keep progressing, even little by little, you will definitely clear it. We've minimized the “unfairness” and “endless backtracking” common in this genre,
focusing instead on the world's atmosphere and the pure joy of climbing anywhere.
It's also designed for casual play in short bursts, perfect for those who can't dedicate long stretches of time.
Touch the pink backpacks scattered throughout the stage
to change into different outfits.
You can also change into any acquired outfit at any time from the settings screen.
Not just climbing upward, but there are also stages and effects that let you enjoy the worldview at various points.
