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 tactical survival RPG on a hexagonal grid. Time is your enemy: every day makes the Bosses stronger. Hunt, manage your campsite, and craft torches to explore pitch-black dungeons. Without light, your stats drop to zero. Reassemble the Traveler's Dial to win.
A RACE AGAINST DARKNESS
The adventure of Fred is a return to RPG roots: unforgiving and without hand-holding. You explore a vast procedural world where time is not on your side.
The Growing Threat: The world evolves. If you spend too much time farming resources, Dungeon Bosses gain power levels. You must weaken their defenses by eliminating their minion camps.
SURVIVAL MUST BE EARNED
Forget about auto-regeneration. Here, every night is an ordeal.
Campsite Management: At night, you must pass survival tests (Fire, Cooking, Healing) to recover your mental state and health. Fail at camp, and you are already doomed for the next day.
Limited Resources: Hunt, fish, and gather. Markets offer powerful gear, but prices are exorbitant for a beginner adventurer.
LIGHT IS YOUR WEAPON
The 12 Dungeons hold the fragments of the Traveler's Dial, but they are plunged into total darkness.
Blindness Mechanic: In the dark, your dexterity and agility drop to zero. You can neither hit enemies nor dodge attacks.
Prepare Yourself: Torches cannot be bought. You must understand the game's ecosystem, hunt specific creatures, and master crafting to hope to see what hides in the shadows.
A WORLD OF SECRETS
Narrative and Random: Riddles, multiple-choice encounters, and mysterious NPCs scatter the map.
Free Progression: Blocked caves, unknown points of interest... Place your manual markers so you never lose track of a discovery. It is up to you to map and understand this world. No one will hold your hand.
Will you reassemble the Traveler's Dial or end up forgotten in a dark cave?
