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.
A fast-paced action roguelike where time is your vital resource. Battle digital hordes, harvest fragments to survive, and use Chrono Tokens for deep, ARPG-style weapon customization, traveling through planets to save the dimension.
Protocol: Chrono is a fast-paced action roguelike with bullet heaven DNA. There’s no health bar — your lifeline is Time, constantly draining away. Every second matters, every kill buys survival, and every mistake brings your end closer.
You are the Chronal Agent — a security process deployed into a simulation suffering Terminal Entropy. The system is breaking, data is leaking, and corrupted shadows — hungry processes that feed on time — will do anything to terminate your execution.
Travel across 10 unstable planets (sectors), push back corruption, and stabilize the Kernel before everything is erased.
Forget potions and hearts. In Protocol: Chrono, your “HP” is a timer that never stops ticking down.
Defeat enemies and collect chrono fragments to regain seconds.
Taking damage doesn’t reduce “HP” — it steals time.
Watching 0.0s get closer is the fuel for your adrenaline.
You don’t just pick weapons — you compile a build.
Use Chrono Tokens to unlock slots and equip upgrades that reshape your playstyle: multipliers, effects, synergies, and combinations you can adapt on the fly.
Explosive thermal payload chains? A defensive feedback field? Autonomous daemons holding the line? Your build, your rules — mid-run.
The run ramps into a frenetic climax:
Boss encounters trigger as you progress and dominate the sector.
At 20 minutes, you face a decision: finish the run or continue into Endless mode.
Fast-paced action focused on movement, positioning, and pattern reading.
Deep buildcraft with dozens of weapon + support combinations.
Intense ~20-minute runs with a late-game spike.
Cyber-neon aesthetics: minimalist silhouettes, high contrast, neon accents.
