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.
Build a dynasty from the front office. Draft, trade, sign, and develop players across unlimited seasons. Scout prospects, manage the cap, hire coaches, then watch the league evolve around you.
Take the reins of a professional football franchise and prove you can build a dynasty.
You're the General Manager. Every roster decision, every draft pick, every contract negotiation runs through you. Build your roster, hire your coaching staff, manage the salary cap, and watch your team take the field, all while an owner demands results.
Scout hundreds of prospects each year through a multi-layered scouting system. Spend scouting points to reveal hidden attributes, attend the combine for measurables, conduct interviews to assess personality, and track college stats as they drop throughout the season. On draft night, field live trade offers and find your franchise cornerstone, or miss on a bust.
Manage a 53-man roster with a salary cap that mirrors real football economics where the cap and contracts grow. Structure contracts with signing bonuses, dead cap, and restructures. Navigate three waves of free agency. Flip players at the trade deadline. Even experiment with out-of-position conversions, slide a tight end to guard or a running back to receiver.
Hire a coaching staff with real philosophical identity. Choose from 6 offensive and 6 defensive schemes that directly impact how your team plays on the field. An outside zone scheme needs athletic linemen and a back who can find cutback lanes. An air raid scheme needs four receivers who can win in space. On defense, a blitz-heavy front generates pressure but exposes the secondary. Your personnel has to match your philosophy. Your coordinators develop scheme mastery over time, but rival teams may try to poach them.
Every player on your roster has a unique procedurally generated pixel art portrait. A custom sprite system designed by an artist layers several components, including head shape, hairstyle, skin tone, eye color, facial hair, and accessories, then composites them into pixel art portraits with personality. With billions of possible combinations, you'll never see the same face twice.
Simulate games with a play-by-play engine calibrated against real professional football data. Watch drives unfold on a field view with live win probability chart, drive logs, and broadcast-style presentation. Every player attribute, from throw power to route running to block shedding, even a lineman's arm length or a running back's weight, feeds into outcomes on every snap.
Players grow and decline on realistic career arcs with position-specific peak ages. Different development traits accelerate growth and training camp events create breakout moments. Watch a late-round pick blossom into an All-Pro, or a top prospect flame out.
Follow the drama through Blitz, a social media feed where players talk trash, analysts debate your moves, and reporters break stories. Coaching carousels, contract holdouts, milestone celebrations, and playoff hype all generate dynamic storylines that make every season feel alive.
Place bets with calibrated spreads and over/unders. Track advanced stats like passer rating, yards per route run, and pressure-to-sack rate. Upgrade your scouting department, medical staff, and stadium by hitting owner goals and earning payouts. Save up steadily, or go all-in by betting your season's income on a championship underdog to cover. Chase Hall of Fame inductions across a 100-year franchise history. Satisfy your owner's goals, or get fired and start over with a new team.
