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.
Bring the boy on the clouds down. One mistake, and you may have to climb back up as far as you’ve come.
I Want To Go Down(IWTDG) is a game about guiding a boy standing on a cloud, carefully making his way down.
Your task is simple: make it down without falling.
And that simplicity might be what keeps you here the longest.
This game wasn’t made to kill you.
It was made to quietly break your impatience, your pride, and that certainty of “this time I’ve got it.”
There is no kind path here, and no deal like “I’ll save you here.”
As you descend, you will learn.
-how to stop
-how to move slowly
-what happens when you get greedy
-and… how quickly one slip can send life back to the beginning
You’ll find yourself saying, often:
“Why did I do that?”
At the top (…no, the bottom), there’s a reward waiting.
I won’t tell you what it is.
But I can promise this: when you arrive, you’ll know.
Features
-One goal: bring the boy down from the clouds
-A careful, descent-based game where mistakes send you back
-Success isn’t about reflexes, but patience and restraint
Playtime
-10 minutes to ∞ hours
Some will reach the bottom quickly, and some will say “I’m almost there” dozens of times.
Warning
This game is quiet.
You might not be.
I would like to express my gratitude to Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy and Jump King for the inspiration that made this game possible.
