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.
Glyph Gambit: Endgame is a tactical grid battler powered by a real chess engine. Soulslike/roguelite runs, authentic chess movement, and tactical items create deep, replayable battles in the sequel the original was meant to be.
Glyph Gambit: Endgame is the game we always wanted the original to be: a tactical grid battler built around a real chess engine. Every move is grounded in authentic chess rules, then pushed into new territory with items, board hazards, and progression systems that give you room to experiment, break patterns, and create your own style.
You’ll outmaneuver enemies with true chess movement, deploy consumables like decoys to control the board, and unlock new tools as you clear milestones. It’s a sequel that keeps the soul of Glyph Gambit while finally delivering the deeper, smarter gameplay it was meant to have from day one.
Key Features
Soulslike and Rougelite gameplay loops
Real chess-engine movement and validation
Tactical items and board objects that change the flow of combat and redefine how chess is played
Milestone-based unlocks and progression
Grid-based encounters that reward clever positioning and planning
Polished graphics from the original, as well as meta story-telling narration
Glyph Gambit is a turn-based tactical roguelite inspired by chess, Dark Souls, and grid-based dungeon crawlers. Each run challenges you to navigate dangerous tactical arenas where every move matters and every decision can end your journey. Your objective is clear:
Destroy the enemy King before they destroy yours.
You control multiple upgradable pieces on compact battle grids, facing distinct enemy factions with their own movement patterns and threats. Equip offensive Edges, defensive Shields, and powerful Gems and Items to shape your build and survive deeper into the gauntlet.
At the heart of the game are Glyphs—the soul of your run. Glyphs empower your piece, unlock new abilities, and fuel long-term progression. But they are fragile. If you fall in battle, your Glyphs drop on that level. To reclaim them, you must return to that same encounter and clear it. Fail again before recovery, and those Glyphs are lost forever.
Fight on small, focused encounter boards where positioning is everything. Predict enemy intent, manage danger zones, and outmaneuver rival Kings. Every run presents new tactical puzzles that reward smart planning and bold plays.
Death resets the run—but permanent upgrades, unlocked items, and new Glyphs progressively expand your options. Each attempt pushes you further as you refine your strategy and piece loadout.
Equip a wide range of upgrades including:
Edges – Offensive stat boosts
Shields – Defensive enhancements
Gems – For upgrading edges and shields
Glyphs – The soul of the game for leveling up and purchasing items
Permanent Items - Items that can be used across all runs
Run Items - Items that can be used for one run
Level Items - Items that can be used for one level in a run
Consumables - Items that are applied and consumed immediately
Turn-based tactical battles on compact grid arenas
Roguelite runs with permanent progression and unlocks
Core objective: destroy their King before they destroy yours
Glyphs that drop on death and can be lost forever
Dozens of Edges, Shields, and Gems to shape your build
Procedural encounters
Souls-like atmosphere and challenge
Full controller support and Steam Deck compatible
Highly replayable with deep strategic choices
