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.
Harvest crystallized time from parallel universes where people waste their lives playing idle games. Build extractors, automate logistics networks, and research new technology to fuel Bill Tyme's time machine in this factory-building incremental game.
Somewhere across the multiverse, people are wasting their lives playing idle games. Their lost moments condense into Chronum — crystallized time — and you're going to harvest every last drop of it.
Idle Time is a factory-building incremental game where you extract, transport, and process Chronum to fuel a time machine built by Bill Tyme, an eccentric physicist with a fractured timeline and questionable ethics. Start by dragging glowing time crystals to your factory by hand. End by orchestrating vast automated networks of extractors, relay towers, and reactors across a procedurally generated landscape.
Build a Chronum empire — Place extractors on resource nodes, connect them to your factory with automated Idlers, and watch the Minutes roll in. Optimize throughput with buffers, compressors, splitters, and speed-boosting accelerators.
Research 7 tiers of technology — Progress from simple extraction to advanced buildings like the Time Warper, which batches and multiplies Chronum value, and the Rift Stabilizer, which tears open portals to ultra-rich resource nodes.
Design complex logistics networks — Route Chronum through pipe networks that follow grid paths, bundle along shared routes, and navigate around large structures. Split production lines, chain relay towers, and balance throughput across your operation.
Prestige and push further — Complete each run to bank Universal Idle Time, then spend it on permanent upgrades that carry across future playthroughs. Each cycle starts faster and reaches further.
Procedural terrain — Every map is generated fresh with concrete sprawl, wind-swept desert dunes, and fields of animated grass that sway in the breeze. A dynamic day cycle casts drifting cloud shadows across the landscape.
Meet Bill Tyme — Your guide, mentor, and the reason you're doing all of this. He's brilliant, unstable, and not entirely sure this whole thing is going to work out.
