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.
Alstan is a 3rd-person action-adventure game set in the merciless deserts of Idnan, inspired by Amazigh and Tuareg cultures. You play as Alstan, a warrior cursed by the Mark of the Desert, a power that allows him to control sand but slowly turns him into one of the very Djinns he hunts.
In the depths of an ancient tomb buried beneath the sands of the Idnan Desert, Alstan, a young nomadic warrior, has just lost his sister to a mysterious curse: the mark of the desert, a symbol burned into the flesh of those who bear the burden of the djinn.
Overcome with grief, Alstan crosses paths with a strange traveller. The latter reveals that behind this mark lies an ancient and feared being: Rahim, a legendary Djinn who has been confined for centuries in a forgotten temple. Driven by anger, Alstan embarks on a quest for vengeance.
Play as Alstan and set off across the Idnan desert, an arid and enchanting world inspired by Amazigh and Tuareg cultures. Along the way, face fallen spirits, ancient Djinns who have also been twisted by the curse.
With fast-paced combat, dynamic exploration mechanics and strong art direction, Alstan offers an immersive experience in a semi-open desert world, where every step brings you closer to the truth... and revenge.

Face a variety of enemies blocking your path and testing your skills and endurance.

Climb surfaces, slide across sand, and explore the most secret corners of the desert and its ruins to learn more about its history and find items to increase Alstan's power !

Use the curse to your advantage by harnessing its power, delivering powerful shock waves or propelling yourself into the air. It's up to you to decide how to wield this valuable asset.
