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 space adventure where you solve the mystery of your past, building a thriving civilization across a distant solar system. Fly your rocket as a commander, grow your colonies and build planet upgrades to conquer this unknown space.
ORBITAL is a 2D space sim where you are the sole pioneer tasked with a hopeful mission: to explore a forgotten solar system and build a thriving interstellar civilization. It’s a game about discovery, decision-making, and watching worlds flourish under your guidance—all at your own relaxed pace.
Each planet you settle is a new story waiting to be told. Your primary goal is to grow your total population, but growth is tied directly to Happiness. When your people are happy, your civilization thrives. When they aren’t, you’ll need to intervene.
The heart of the game lies in the text-based Incidents—a mechanic our early playtesters fell in love with. From resource shortages to cultural festivals to strange stellar phenomena, you will constantly be asked to make decisions. Your choices are not just flavor; they have a direct impact on the happiness of your people and the destiny of your planets.
Your journey is one of endless discovery.
Harvest Resources: Pilot your rocket to collect valuable Tech from asteroid fields.
Build Your Future: Spend Tech on a hierarchy of Planet Upgrades to boost happiness, automate production, and unlock new possibilities.
Uncover Secrets: Discover hidden Shipwrecks and complete multi-stage Expeditions to find rare resources and uncover the lore of the solar system. Are you really alone?
Upgrade Your Ride: Invest in your rocket to improve its capabilities or repair it after a tough expedition.
I wanted to create a game that felt like a cozy blanket, not a frantic rush. In ORBITAL, there is:
No timer to stress you out.
No combat to interrupt your flow.
No way to lose.
It’s just you, your ship, and a galaxy of potential. Whether you have 15 minutes or 3 hours, you can make meaningful progress, explore at your leisure, and build something you’re proud of.
So, are you ready to launch? The galaxy is waiting.
