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.
Survive in an accelerated life simulation by collecting gifts dropped from vending machines, and compete to become the richest person in the world. Sell or use the gifts. Maintain your hunger and energy balance, earn interest, and buy houses and cars. Resist inflation. Invest in cryptocurrency.
Sometimes life comes down to a simple choice: Will you sell it… or will you use it?
Gift Drop Machine: Life Simulator turns an ordinary gift vending machine into an unexpectedly fun survival challenge, offering a surprise-driven life simulation experience. Every item has its own impact, proving that even the smallest decision can change your entire path. Every decision you make here will shape your future.
Press the button… and watch a new item fall—one that may shape your destiny.
Maybe you’ll get an energy drink, maybe a funny toy that boosts your happiness…
Or perhaps a rare, highly valuable item that earns you a fortune.
Each item is completely random, with unique effects. Every turn, every choice, every gift creates a brand-new experience.
Surviving isn’t just about meeting your needs—you also have to manage your budget wisely.
Sell items to earn quick money
Save up for bigger opportunities
Avoid unnecessary spending and build a sustainable lifestyle
Will you take risks hoping for a rare item, or play it safe with stable choices?
The strategy is entirely yours.
Your character’s stats decrease over time.
Using the right item at the right moment can carry you into the next day.
Hunger: Drops steadily; no food means serious trouble
Energy: Decreases with actions; zero energy means zero efficiency
Happiness: Determines quality of life; low happiness affects everything
The game constantly presents small but crucial decisions that keep the “just one more item” feeling alive.
Your money isn’t limited to your pocket anymore.
With a bank account, interest rates, balance control, and a credit card, your financial planning becomes much more strategic.
Bank System:
Store your money safely
Earn small interest over time
Control your spending and budget
Credit Card System:
Pay with your card when cash runs out
Manage debt carefully or interest will pile up
Make smart financial moves for big investments
Debt is risky—but powerful when used wisely!
You’re not just surviving—you’re building a life.
You can purchase a wide range of items:
Houses (more space, higher living quality)
Cars (special bonuses, unique task advantages)
Furniture & decorations
Electronics
Collectibles
And more…
Each item provides unique benefits and upgrades to your lifestyle.
Live simple or live in luxury—it’s your choice.
The strength of Gift Drop Machine: Life Simulator lies in its simplicity layered with meaningful choices.
Every item is a chance, every sale is a gamble, every use is resource management.
Over time, you’ll learn which items are rare, which are valuable, and which should be saved for emergencies.
Because the vending machine’s contents are randomly generated, every game feels different.
One run may make you rich, while another may leave you clinging to your last item to survive.
Random gifts and fully dynamic gameplay
Rare and valuable items
Strategic money management
Hunger, energy, and happiness balance
Infinite replayability
Relaxing yet thoughtful life-loop mechanics
Minimalist and enjoyable atmosphere
Gift Drop Machine: Life Simulator is a life adventure where small choices create big consequences—and surprises never end.
