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.
Solo indie developer. What started as a simple game for a 3-year-old is now a hardcore physics-combat RPG. Customize your marble, equip massive weapons like the Graviton Lance, and survive an accidental bullet-hell masterpiece.

Look, I'm going to be honest with you. This game was supposed to be simple. I wanted to make a little marble rolling game for my 3-year-old. Just something to help with hand-eye coordination. You know, "roll the ball to the green square." Simple. Wholesome.
Then I got carried away.
One night I thought, "What if the marble had a machine gun?"
Then, "What if the marble could equip an orbital strike laser?"
Then, "What if there was a complex loot economy, distinct enemy behaviours, boss fights, and a deep sci-fi narrative about sentient AI?"
A short time later, my 3-year-old is confused, and I have accidentally created Marble Blade.
At its core, you are a sphere. A very heavy, momentum-based sphere. You don't just "move" left or right; you roll. Mastering the inertia is half the battle. The other half is dodging the thousands of plasma bolts flying at your face.
Features That Definitely Weren't Necessary But I Added Anyway:The Arsenal: Over 12 unique weapons ranging from the humble "Repeater" to the screen-clearing "Cluster Bomb" and the physics-defying "Graviton Lance".
Deep Progression: A massive skill tree allowing you to build a Juggernaut Tank Marble, a Speedster Scout Marble, or a "Glass Cannon" DPS Marble.
RPG Loot System: Hunt for Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary components. Start excitedly shouting "GOLD DROP!" at your monitor.
Boss Battles: proper multi-stage bosses that will test your rolling precision and trigger discipline.
A Story Mode?: Yes, there's actually a plot. Uncover the mystery of the "Systems" and why you are a weaponized ball in space.
Dynamic Space Environment: Fly past gas giants, navigate asteroid fields, and avoid falling off the edge of reality.
Because underneath the "dad project gone rogue" exterior lies a genuinely challenging, addictive arcade shooter. It’s got the "just one more run" energy of a roguelike with the satisfying physics of getting a strike in bowling—if the bowling pins shot back at you.
