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.
Glass Monsters is a single-player first-person 3D survival shooter where you fight off waves of monsters on beautiful and varied procedural glass arenas, using different weapons, destructible environments, and constant repositioning to survive.
Glass Monsters is a single-player first-person 3D survival shooter where every battle takes place in a procedurally assembled glass arena. You fight through constantly shifting spaces filled with transparent walls, domes, bridges, ramps, and other geometric structures, fend off waves of aggressive creatures, and search for safe ground where cover can stop being cover at any moment.
At its core, the game is about mobility and constant pressure. Accuracy matters, but staying alive also means keeping moving: running, jumping, managing stamina, changing routes, and reading the arena fast. The arena affects your tactics just as much as the enemies do. Some areas offer a brief moment of safety, others trap you, and the destructible glass environment gradually reshapes the flow of combat in the middle of each wave.
As you progress, you will fight through a series of levels with different architecture, lighting colors, and combat pacing. Some arenas focus on tight passages and sharp turns, while others are built around open spaces, vertical movement, and exposed routes. Enemy behavior also changes from one type to another: some overwhelm you in close combat, some attack from the air, others rely on leaps or ranged fire attacks. In the later stages, especially dangerous enemies appear that can break obstacles and force close-range encounters on their own terms.
The arsenal is built around combat roles rather than just damage values. One weapon is better for precision and controlling distance, another for sustained pressure, and another for heavy explosive shots with a separate ammo pool. Enemies can drop new weapons, ammunition, healing items, and rare pickups that temporarily change how the arena is visually perceived, helping you read the battlefield in a different way during combat.
The defining feature of Glass Monsters is the combination of procedural arenas, destructible glass environments, and dynamic transparency. Cover cracks and shatters into fragments, enemy and object silhouettes shift depending on the situation, and muzzle flashes and fire attacks make every encounter feel both beautiful and dangerous. This is not just a visual gimmick: the environment directly affects how you make decisions in battle.
The game is designed as a focused single-player experience: push deeper, adapt to each new arena, keep the weapons and ammo you have earned between levels, and survive increasingly intense pressure. At the same time, the game includes pause, save and load, difficulty selection, music volume adjustment, and interface language switching.
