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 single-player blackjack roguelike where every bet is a build choice and every floor rewrites the rules. Hit, stand, double, split, and insure your way through escalating bosses, brutal modifiers, and wildly synergetic runs.
This is not just blackjack with a roguelike skin. It is a high-pressure strategy game built on betting, risk control, rule adaptation, and run-defining synergies. You are not simply trying to beat the dealer's hand. You are trying to survive 10 escalating floors, manage your chips, outplay shifting rules, and assemble a build strong enough to break the table before the table breaks you.
The familiar foundation is still here:
Hit. Stand. Double down. Split. Surrender. Buy insurance.
But as the run goes on, the game keeps changing the terms of the fight.
Why Dealer's Doom stands out:
Classic blackjack at the core, roguelike strategy at heart
Each round follows the tension of real blackjack: place your bet, play your hand, and live with the result. The twist is everything built around it. Between floors, you pick powerful abilities, make high-stakes service stop decisions, and shape your next run with unlockable starter contracts. Knowing blackjack helps. Building around chaos is how you win.
Every floor changes the table
Dealer behavior, reward pacing, action restrictions, insurance value, and draw logic can all shift as you progress. Some floors pressure your economy. Some force you into tighter lines. Some bosses demand a completely different rhythm of play. A safe decision on one floor can be a fatal habit on the next.
Deep build variety with room for broken combinations
The current game includes:
10 floors
38 abilities
9 starter contracts
7 service effects
You can build around winstreak momentum, insurance discounts, one-time protection, phoenix-style revival, peeking at the next card, rerolling rounds, or stealing information from the dealer. Runs do not just feel different because of luck. They feel different because your tools, risks, and priorities change dramatically from build to build.
Risk management matters as much as card luck
Dealer's Doom is not about mindlessly fishing for good draws. It is about making smart decisions under pressure. When should you push for profit? When should you protect your bankroll? When is doubling down the winning line, and when is survival worth more than greed? Every bet is a strategic commitment.
Failure still drives progression
Even failed runs move you forward. Earn gold, unlock new contracts and services, expand your long-term options, and fill out your codex as you discover more of the game's systems. The more you play, the more ways you gain to challenge the table on your own terms.
Built for “one more run”
If you love chasing mastery, there is plenty to aim for:
Clear your first floor
Finish a full run
Win with a natural blackjack
Sweep a split round
Survive a brutal losing streak
Trigger a phoenix revival
Complete the codex
Defeat every boss
Some runs will collapse in slow motion.
Some will explode into absurd momentum.
Both will make you want to queue up another hand.

You are not here to play the dealer's game.
You are here to end it.
