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.
Walk, jog, and run in VR using your real treadmill. VRTI connects your Bluetooth treadmill to VRChat and other games, turning your workout into an adventure.
Ever wished you could actually walk around in your favorite VR worlds? With VRTI (VR Treadmill Interface), your real-life steps become in-game movement. Connect your Bluetooth-enabled treadmill, fire up your favorite game, and start walking for real.
Whether you're exploring VRChat with friends, trekking through vast open worlds, or just looking for a way to make exercise more fun, VRTI bridges the gap between your treadmill and your games.
VRTI translates the speed of your treadmill directly into in-game movement. Walk slowly to take in the scenery, or pick up the pace to keep up with friends. Your in-game speed matches your real pace, making movement feel natural and intuitive.
Works with VRChat — Walk alongside your friends in VRChat with native OSC support. Control your treadmill and walking speed directly from your avatar's action menu using the included VRChat avatar prefab.
Works with other games too — While VRTI is designed to work with VRChat, VRTI can emulate an Xbox controller, letting you walk in virtually any game that supports controller input, VR or otherwise.
No need to take off your headset to adjust your treadmill. Start, stop, and change your speed right from VRTI's interface or through customizable SteamVR controller bindings. Press a button on your controller to speed up and catch a friend, or slow down to enjoy the view.
Yaw Lock keeps you walking in a straight line even when you turn your head to look around, so you can take in the sights without veering off course.
VRTI keeps track of your walking sessions, recording your distance, steps, and active time. Review your progress over weeks and months to see how far you've come.
Sync your sessions to Strava to keep all your fitness data in one place, and set milestone notifications to celebrate when you hit your next distance or step goal.
VRTI works with a growing list of Bluetooth-enabled treadmills, including various KingSmith WalkingPad models and most treadmills that support the FTMS (Fitness Machine Service) Bluetooth protocol. Chances are, if your treadmill has Bluetooth control through an app, it may work with VRTI.
