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 cyberpunk roguelike arcade shooter. Hack through hostile cyberspace across three escalating sectors, pick hacking programs from a randomised loadout, and blast through ICE before the trace meter catches you.
You are a runner loose in hostile cyberspace. Black ICE is closing from every direction. Your trace meter is climbing. The only way out is through.
Dead Sector is a cyberpunk roguelike arcade shooter rendered in a 1980's vector aesthetic. Navigate branching node maps across three hostile sectors, each faster and more dangerous than the last.
At the end of each node, choose your hacking programs from a randomised pool. STEALTH to halt the trace meter cold. EMP to freeze every ICE on screen. BREACH for a piercing beam, wall to wall. GRAV WELL to pull them all into one place. Pick three active programs from fifteen - choose carefully.
Work your way through the node map. Fight through combat arenas, hit random events, and hunt down the sector boss. Survive the Manticore in SECTOR ALPHA. Push deeper into the DEEP NET and face the Archon. Reach THE CORE and destroy the Vortex - if you make it that far.
Roguelike node maps - Branching paths through 3 escalating cyberspace sectors, each with its own difficulty, boss, and visual colour theme
15 hacking programs - Randomised loadouts mean no two runs play the same
Passive mod drafting - Pick upgrade cards between fights to build synergistic builds across the run
Trace meter - A persistent threat counter that ticks up through every combat; let it fill and you'll hit maximum ICE activity
5 ship hulls - Unlock Ghost Runner, Signal Knife, Strike Frame, Iron Coffin, and Ghost Wire, each with completely different stats and built-in mechanics. Earn golden status on each
