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.
Keep a consistent aim feel across games. Measure the physical mouse movement required for a full 360° camera turn in first and third-person games using raw mouse input — especially useful for new or unsupported games where sensitivity converters do not have reliable data yet.
Exact360 helps you keep a consistent aim feel across first- and third-person games by measuring the physical mouse distance required for a full 360° camera turn.
Enter your mouse DPI, start recording, perform a 360° turn in-game, and log the result. Repeat the process to average multiple sweeps, then compare your measured cm/360 against a target sensitivity profile.
This is useful for matching your aim feel between games, especially in brand-new, obscure, or unsupported titles where normal sensitivity converters may not have reliable data yet.
Exact360 is a focused measurement and calibration utility.
