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.
At an elite academy, a gifted pianist suffers obsession, cruelty and power abuse. Admiration becomes control, bullying turns violent; silence is no safer than resistance. Trapped by privilege and corruption, she must survive a system that protects her abusers and find her breaking point.
A blockbuster immersive visual interactive novel is launched! Deeply restore the classic bullying narrative, unlock the paranoid cage and hidden conspiracy of Aspen Academy, create an immersive plot experience with exclusive high-definition scenes, and a campus puzzle about resistance, struggle and revenge is waiting for you to step into personally!
In the elite Aspen Academy, the talented piano girl Isabella becomes the obsessive target of Jason, the captain of the football team. An unintentional misunderstanding at a summer cocktail party is infinitely magnified by paranoia. Jason's bullying spreads from violent confrontation in the underground stack room of the library to every corner of the campus. Torn sheet music, locked storage rooms, and filthy lockers become Isabella's daily life. The indifference of counselors and the onlookers of classmates make her fall into helpless despair, and only the protection of her good friend Lily becomes a glimmer of light. But no one knows that behind Jason's paranoia lies the deliberate instigation of Father Ella, as well as the commercial competition between the Harper and Walker families. Under the bright lights of the Christmas Ball, the conspiracy breaks out completely. The bloody bullying in the church basement and the near-death predicament on the snow-covered football field, Isabella's resistance will eventually set off a storm that makes the bullies pay a painful price. The game restores the compact plot of the original work 1:1, with no multiple branches or multiple endings, taking you to immersive experience this campus struggle from despair to counterattack.
