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 fantasy battle scroller where in one moment you gracefully support your companions with magic and arrows, and the next you accidentally throw them into goblin mayhem.

Axe, Bow & Staff is the first of the co-op runners; a pixel-art hybrid combining sidescrolling runner mechanics with RPG elements and zany multiplayer gameplay. It's a game you will love in single-player, but adore in co-op mode.

Main Features:

• Single Player, Local Multiplayer, Online Multiplayer
  You COULD play Axe, Bow & Staff all by yourself, comfortably alone in your underwear with a beer hat wrapped around your head, or you could sit there with your so-called friends and play multiplayer locally. Or team-up with online play. Whatever. We support that, too. Your co-op habits are important to us.
  
• Rockin' Pixel Art
  It's like the 80s married the 90s and they never went away! Axe, Bow & Staff brings you the best in these pixel art classics-to-be. You saw it here first!
  
• Chiptunes Originals
  More cheer than you can shake twelve reindeers at in this catchy & original chiptune soundtrack!
  
• Bespoke Like a Boss
  30+ hand-crafted levels with various challenges and fun, fun, fun!
  
• Multiple Playthroughs
  Have you heard the saying, "A procedurally-generated level is like multiple playthroughs in the bank"? Neither have we, and yet here it is bringing more bang for your buck!
  
• A Matrix of Options for Customization
  20+ skill upgrades and 70+ items is, like, a really good way to bling-bling your characters. Which makes YOU, like, the equivalent of a fantasy game gangsta.
  
• Racing Mode
  Introducing side-scrolling Mario Kart! If you are tired of the co-op, try "testing" your friendship in the Racing Mode!

• Co-op
  Did we mention that already? Well, it's really cool, you know. Really. Honest!
  

  About our heroes:

  
  Literally born under a rock, Axe is the tallest dwarf in his mining clan, a giant of a dwarf at five feet, towering a head above the others. He's so tall he could be mistaken for a very short human! Because Axe's height made him unsuitable for mining, he set off to seek his fortune in the lands above. Away from familiar tunnels and dank caves, Axe often gets lost on the surface world, but doesn't like to admit it. When he is not busy searching for his fortune, he likes skipping rocks on a stream and eating hot dogs on a stick. He thinks that they are made of real dogs and has never learned how to tie his shoelaces.
  
  Bow is, regretably, the shortest member of her elfin village. She left her home in shame because she was only ever tall enough to gather berries with the elfin children. Bow did not want to be a babysitter in the bushes for the rest of her life, so she ran away from home when she was sixty (which is like sixteen in human years) to train as an ninja so that she could one day return home a glorious hero and bring glory to short elves everywhere. To this day, she still has not found a Ninja Sensei to teach her the proper art of Nenjootsoo, the elven translation of ninjutsu. This also means that she and Axe are about the same height...
  
  Staff has been called many things, amongst them hypochondriac and sniffles are probably the nicer terms that people have used. As a hypo-sensitive wizard with extensive allergies, he prefers to hide behind much bulkier heroes and fold origami on his days off. Staff is mildly allergic to magic, nature, rodents, goblins, rats, leaves, twigs, stones, dead goblins, rocks, dirt, air, water, lightning, thunder, undead goblins, and likes cats. He is also allergic to cats.

“Best of all, Axe, Bow & Staff is the kind of game that comes to life once you get a good co-op party going. Hope you've got some friends!”
John Bardinelli, Co-Optimus

“It is silly, humorous, and intentionally a bit haphazard. As for the characters themselves, they are adorable. It isn't often a developer plans on having three characters who are utterly flawed, each in their own unique ways. It gives them character and their own personalities that you can't help but love.”
Damien Smith, GameSkinny

“It's rare to see a retro-style game done so right.”
Scythe Plays, Youtuber
