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.
From your grandmother's kitchen table to the Phantom's throne. Learn the classical openings, master the canonical endgames, and face opponents who play like real humans across every official ruleset. A story campaign, one purchase, everything included.
FROM YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S KITCHEN TABLE TO THE PHANTOM'S THRONE
Learn the openings the masters actually play. Master the endgames every club player should know. Face opponents who play like real humans, not algorithms. Across every official ruleset, from your first move as a kid to tournament-level play.
This is checkers built like the masters built it.
Not a reskin. Not a single-rule port. The actual rules, properly implemented.
American Checkers. 8×8, men move forward, mandatory capture. The classic.
International Draughts. 10×10, flying kings, max-capture required. The global competitive standard.
Russian Draughts. 8×8, flying kings, mid-jump promotion. Men that reach the king row during a capture continue as kings.
Brazilian Draughts. International depth on the familiar 8×8 board.
An interactive Training Academy with lessons across basics, tactics, openings, middlegame, and endgames. Every lesson ends in a puzzle.
The Named Openings Trainer teaches real checkers theory: Single Corner, Double Corner, Bristol, Cross, Old Fourteenth, Dyke, and others from the classical repertoire.
The Endgame Trainer walks you through First Position, The Bridge, Payne's Draw, the Triangle of Petrov, and the other endings that actually win club games.
Post-game analysis tags every move (Brilliant, Best, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake, Blunder) and scores your accuracy, the way serious players actually review.
Hints that teach why, not just what. Tap the hint button and you get the engine's best move plus a one-line explanation of the idea behind it.
A full roster of named AI opponents, from first-time newcomers to the Phantom himself. Each one plays with a consistent style, their own voice, and their own reactions to your moves. The difficulty you pick is the difficulty you get. No algorithmic difficulty spikes. No "the AI suddenly plays perfectly when you're winning."
A campaign that takes you from a worn wooden set on your grandmother's table, through village clubs and regional tournaments, onto the international stage, and finally to the Phantom's throne. Every chapter has its own cast. Every chapter ends on a boss with their own monologue.
Time controls from Bullet to Classical, or Casual with no clock at all.
Tournament brackets: Single Elimination, Round Robin, Swiss.
League seasons with promotion and relegation.
Elimination mode — a survival gauntlet with a one-shot Last Stand when you fall.
A daily puzzle, a Puzzle Rush, and themed tactical sets.
Async online multiplayer to play friends across the world at your own pace.
Themed piece skins: Classic, Wooden, Stone, Metal, Crystal, Neon, Royal, Dragon, Golden, Diamond.
A full position editor — set up any board state, play it out vs the AI.
An in-app replay viewer. Step through any past game with engine commentary.
PDN export so you can share any game with the global checkers community.
A login streak and a fresh daily challenge every day you come back.
One purchase, everything included. No paywalls. No subscriptions. No locked content.
Ad-free, always. Your board, your time.
Offline-first. Everything except online multiplayer works without a connection.
Full keyboard, mouse, and controller support. Optimized for Steam Deck.
Accessibility: colorblind marks on pieces, reduced motion, high contrast, text scaling from 100% to 150%.
16 languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified + Traditional), Hindi, Greek.
Steam Cloud saves and cross-device progression.
Most checkers games give you one ruleset and a generic AI. This one gives you every official ruleset, a full roster of opponents who feel human, and the learning tools to master all of them. Whether you're revisiting a childhood game or climbing toward international competition, there's a ladder here for you.
