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.
SYSTEM STATUS: UNSTABLE> System Overload is a resource management sim disguised as a Win95/98 Task Manager. Balance CPU, RAM, and heat while fighting malware across 8 unique endings. Push your hardware to the limit—just don't trigger a meltdown. >DO_NOT_CRASH.
> USER_NOT_FOUND > INITIATING SYSTEM_OVERLOAD.EXE
In this simulation, you are not the user... YOU ARE THE SYSTEM. Your objective is binary: Stay Operational // Do Not Crash. But in a machine bombarded by heavy processes and aggressive malware, stability is a luxury. 0x0000 ERROR.
> DETECTING HUMAN_ASSETS (Story Mode) Scanning... Connection with AI "Chip" established. You are the silent guardian of a critical infrastructure. While you cool the CPU, the fate of entire factions depends on your uptime. Reading BIOS Logs... Accessing 36+ Emails... Do n-not let them down. Your thermal and moral choices will lead to 8 UNIQUE ENDINGS (5 main + 3 hidden).
> INTERFACE: TASK MANAGER Forget complex mathematics. WIN 95/98 AESTHETIC = ACTIVE. VISUAL_BARS = LOADED. Monitor Heat, RAM, and CPU stress through an intuitive, retro interface. It looks simple. It feels simple. Until the RED ZONE hits.
> THERMAL_STATUS: 98°C Push the hardware. Overclock the CPU. Complete contracts for DataDyne and Ghost. WARNING: Thermal physics are active. If temperature hits 100°C, components will M-MELT causing a BSOD and permanent hardware damage. System throttling... Fan speed: 0%... DANGER.
> SECURITY BREACH DETECTED The web is infected. Defend against Ransomware, Worms, and Miners. One missed virus will replicate. It will eat your RAM. It will c-corrupt your s-system. Use the Emergency Kill Switch (F12) to wipe the board, but be ready to pay the price. DELETE. DELETE. DELETE.
> SYSTEM UPGRADE REQUIRED Insert Credits. Install Liquid Cooling. Install SDRAM Modules. In INFINITE MODE, use 50+ Roguelite reward cards to build the ultimate machine before the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH takes us all.
SYSTEM FAILURE IMMINENT. CAN YOU HOLD THE LOAD?
