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.
Set in a private MMA academy, the story follows a disciplined, restrained trainee and an unpredictable rival as they clash through training, combat drills, and late-night tension, until their rivalry gradually becomes something else.
Donlan Men's Athletic Academy: Before the Line is a BL visual novel set in a private MMA academy, where young adult fighters are preparing to enter the professional circuit.
You play as Xu Yanchuan, a disciplined and restrained student who believes every movement should have a clear purpose. After entering Donlan Men's Athletic Academy, he meets Jiang Ye—a sharp, unpredictable fighter who always manages to disrupt his rhythm. What begins as irritation and technical conflict gradually turns into recognition, attraction, and a dangerous closeness neither of them knows how to handle.
This is the first installment in the Donlan Men's Athletic Academy series. It follows the early stage of Xu Yanchuan and Jiang Ye's relationship: from rivalry, training clashes, and cafeteria conversations, to late-night practice, subtle tension in the infirmary, and the first moment when professional distance begins to loosen.
Donlan is not an ordinary school.
Every trainee is ranked, evaluated, recorded, and pushed toward the same goal: earning a place in the national youth competition and, eventually, the professional MMA circuit. Inside the training hall, every mistake is visible. Every choice has weight. Every relationship is shaped by competition.
Xu Yanchuan wants control.
Jiang Ye keeps stepping into the places he cannot control.
Their relationship does not begin with tenderness. It begins with friction: mismatched rhythms, sharp words, forced training pairs, and the kind of attention that neither of them wants to admit. As the months pass, irritation becomes recognition, recognition becomes tension, and tension becomes something harder to ignore.
A story-driven BL visual novel focused on adult male characters.
A modern MMA academy setting with training, ranking, sparring, and professional competition pressure.
A slow-burn relationship built through conflict, physical tension, and emotional restraint.
Character-driven scenes in the training hall, cafeteria, medical room, night gym, and academy facilities.
Multiple language support for subtitles and interface.
Chinese voice acting for the main story.
Cohesive character sprites, backgrounds, artwork, music, and visual novel presentation.
A complete standalone title, and the beginning of a larger series story.
