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.
Kill the Lich is a minimalist incremental game about time compression and resource flow. Route your primary resource—Momentum—downstream to unlock over 300 actions. Design granular automation, visualize exposed formulas, and trigger deep prestige layers to ultimately defeat the Lich!
Kill the Lich is a minimalist incremental game centered around time compression and resource propagation. Your resources build automatically over time, but their growth accelerates when you optimize their downstream flow ratios, and you can manually push them along to go even faster. Each action grants attributes that reduce the requirements of other actions, allowing you to push further. Eventually, you can head north to Fight the Lich's Forces in an automated Phase 2, gathering three vital resources that make your next loop faster and unlock new goals.
With each loop, you gain access to an expanding web of actions. Your goals and strategies will constantly evolve as you prepare for the ultimate fight. As you delve deeper into the system, the number of available actions scales to over 300.
As an idle game, the math takes center stage. Every formula is fully exposed so you can see exactly how to respond to it. A scrollable map with multiple zoom levels lets you step back and visualize the exact state of your complex network at a high level.
Your primary resource — Momentum — generates and increases automatically. Your core gameplay loop involves routing it in different directions based on your current objectives, whether that's boosting Momentum generation or unlocking new action nodes. With multiple secondary resources in play, choosing the correct directional flow is the ultimate optimization puzzle.
Designed to be played over weeks and months, this is a true idle game. You will frequently set up your flow logic and then step away to let the harvest play out, with new unlocks and hints keeping you engaged for the long haul. To ensure your time is respected, being offline or paused banks Bonus Time at 100% efficiency. You can spend this to multiply the game's simulation speed, ensuring no time is ever wasted.
As you play, you will unlock deep automation tools. These give you the ability to dictate exactly when and by how much your downstream flow dials shift, enabling complex decision-making tailored to your current stats and situation.
After a few hours of build-up, you can engage the Lich's Forces. This resets your current progress and pushes you as far as your build allows, rewarding you with resources to spend on a massive upgrade tree. The core strategy lies in selecting the most efficient upgrades to compress the timeline of your next run, allowing you to reach new heights faster!
To keep the progression and time compression flowing endlessly, the game features two distinct layers of prestige restarts, as well as a New Game+ with its own upgrades, for players who want a little more! Each reset layer is curated to continuously evolve the player experience.
