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.
Build your peaceful farm in a quiet mountain valley. Grow crops, care for animals, complete quests, level up, and upgrade your home. A cozy farming experience with dynamic weather, no timers, and no pressure. Just relax and enjoy farm life.
🌾 Your Dream Farm in the Mountains
Inherit a quiet farm hidden deep in a peaceful mountain valley and begin a slower, more mindful life. Surrounded by gentle peaks, wooden houses, and open fields, you can settle into a calm daily routine focused on farming, exploration, and steady progress.
🐔 Everyday Farm Life and Animals
Your farm is home to several animals, including cows, sheep, chickens, horses, and a loyal dog. Animals need food and water to grow and stay productive. Adult cows, sheep, and chickens provide valuable products, while horses can be raised and sold for profit once they mature.
The dog is a decorative companion, but earning its trust requires patience and regular feeding.
🥕 Growing and Harvesting Crops
Plant a variety of vegetables using seeds from the local shop. Each crop requires watering and goes through its own growth stages before it is ready to harvest. Vegetables have different values, and harvest results are not fixed. Each collection randomly rewards items based on defined chances, making every harvest slightly different.
🎣 Fishing and Skill-Based Mini Game
Fishing offers a relaxing but engaging activity. Use different types of fishing rods, where better rods allow you to catch rarer and more valuable fish. There are dozens of fish species with varying difficulty levels.
Each catch involves a short mini game where you must keep the fish within a safe zone until the progress bar fills.
⛏ Resources and Upgrades
Gather resources like wood and stone using tools such as an axe or pickaxe. These materials are essential for upgrading your house, tools, and farmland. Higher upgrade levels unlock new features and improve efficiency. Upgrades require not only money, but also the right character level and materials, all clearly explained in the upgrade shop.
🏡 House Progression and Cooking
You start with a small house that can be expanded step by step. As your home improves, new rooms and systems become available. Once your house reaches the required level, you can begin cooking meals using gathered products. Cooked meals can be sold for higher prices and restore more stamina than raw food.
⚡ Stamina and Daily Rhythm
Every action uses stamina. When it runs out, you can no longer farm, water crops, care for animals, fish, gather resources, or harvest vegetables.
Stamina can be restored by eating vegetables or by sleeping and starting a new day.
📜 Quests and Long-Term Goals
The game features both unique and repeatable quests. Completing them increases your level, grants useful items, and sometimes unlocks new mechanics such as fishing. Quests provide direction without pressure and encourage long-term planning.
🌦 Living World and Weather System
The world features a dynamic weather system that changes daily. Rain waters your crops automatically, while fog reduces visibility. You can always check the forecast on the TV inside your home.
✨ A Calm Low-Poly Fantasy World
Explore a cozy low-poly world filled with soft colors and a relaxing atmosphere. Wooden houses, glass greenhouses, open farmland, and mountain landscapes are designed to help you slow down and enjoy a peaceful experience.
No timers.
No pressure.
Just you, your farm, and a quiet moment in the mountains.
