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 fast-paced bullet-heaven roguelite where you tame the four elements. Draft cards, fuse them into game-changing builds, and survive endless waves across Fire, Lightning, Water and Earth, then face the chaotic Finale. Made by one developer, balanced by thousands of test runs.
Flux Ascendant is a fast-paced pixel-art roguelite inspired by Vampire Survivors, Hades and Brotato. Survive, gather XP, draft cards, and build a new elemental loadout every single run.
Carve your way through Fire, Lightning, Water and Earth , each with its own enemies, bosses and atmospheric hazards: meteors, lightning storms, downpours, rockfalls. Conquer them all to unlock the Finale, where every element collides in one chaotic showdown.
Over 20 active and passive cards across three power tiers : Bronze → Silver → Gold. Combine multishot fireballs, chain lightning, ice shards, stone shields, orbital weapons, static fields and more. Every card reshapes how you play.
Between runs you return to your Base Camp. Spend coins at the Librarian for extra slots, healing, revives and mastery; invest crystals in the Element Tree to permanently empower each of the four elements.
4 elemental domains + 1 chaotic Finale
20+ cards with Bronze / Silver / Gold tiers
Persistent meta-progression via Librarian and Element Tree
Themed boss fights with unique attack patterns
Dynamic atmospheric events: meteors, rain, lightning, rockfalls
Full Xbox controller support
Tight 30–40 minute runs to complete a full ascension
Flux Ascendant is the first game by a solo indie developer. Every line of code, every sprite, every design decision was made by one person. Early Access is your chance to shape the game with direct feedback to the developer.
