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.
2079. The sun exploded. The rich fled underground. You were sent to the top — where the sky burns. They call you Penthouse Rats. Descend into ruins crawling with 12 unique creatures. Make noise, one hunts you. Stay silent, another finds you. 1-4 player co-op horror.
The rich live underground. Safe. Shielded. Climate-controlled.
You live at the top, where the sun can kill you.
They call you Penthouse Rats. Useful bacteria. Every shift, you and your crew descend into the ruins of the old world to scavenge scrap for the machines below. The quota must be met. The creatures are waiting. And there is no safe way to move.
THE NOISE PARADOX One creature hunts sound: your footsteps, your gunshots, your voice. Another feeds on silence - stand still and it reads you as prey. When both are present, there is no safe behavior. You must constantly choose between two threats.
12 UNIQUE CREATURES (MORE COMING) Every creature on the surface has its own AI behavior and counterplay. One mimics your teammates. One grabs you and throws you across the room. One blinds you. One only moves when you're not looking. One holds you still while others close in. Learn every single one, or become what you're here to collect.
PROCEDURALLY GENERATED DUNGEONS Three distinct locations, a rusted carnival, a dead factory, and a forgotten subway. The layout reshuffles every run. Landmines. Turrets. Locked doors. Radiation surges. No two shifts are the same.
PROXIMITY VOICE CHAT Your voice carries through the corridors. Scream for help and your crew hears you, but so does everything else. Whisper to survive. Coordinate to extract. Trust no one who sounds like your friend.
MEET THE QUOTA, OR ELSE Scavenge valuable scrap from the ruins of human civilization. Dodge traps and creatures. Extract before the radiation surge hits. Sell enough to satisfy the machines that run what's left of the world. Fall short, and there won't be a next shift.
