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.
SHU is a strategic tower defense game where you place and upgrade archers, mages, and artillery towers to stop waves of goblins and warriors from reaching your base. Earn gold, manage your defenses, and build your own custom maps with the built-in map editor.
SHU is a strategic tower defense game where every placement decision matters. Waves of relentless enemies — from cunning goblins to fearless warriors — march toward your base. Your mission: stop them all.
Build, upgrade, and position your towers wisely before each wave strikes. Use archers for ranged precision, mages for arcane devastation, or artillery for heavy splash damage. Each tower type brings a unique playstyle, and combining them is the key to survival.
Three Unique Tower Types — Archer, Mage, and Artillery towers, each with their own strengths and upgrade paths
Wave-Based Combat — Survive increasingly difficult enemy waves, from scouting goblins to armored warriors
Gold Economy — Earn gold by defeating enemies, then spend it strategically to build and upgrade your defenses
Campaign Mode — Take on handcrafted levels with escalating challenges across a campaign map
Custom Game Mode — Load any saved map with your own starting gold and difficulty settings
Built-In Map Editor — Design and save your own battlefields from scratch, then challenge yourself to survive them
Save & Load — Save your maps and return to your custom creations at any time
Grace Periods — Use the time between waves to reinforce your defenses and plan your next move
Place towers on the map during the preparation phase. When the wave begins, your towers attack automatically. Defeat every enemy before they reach your base — if your hit points drop to zero, it's game over. Survive all waves to claim victory.
Whether you're a tower defense veteran or a first-time defender, SHU offers deep strategic gameplay and endless replayability through its custom map editor and configurable difficulty.
Will your towers hold the line?
