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 VR action roguelike with an expressive deep combat system and a player-driven procedural world generation system. Team up with friends across platforms as you remix runs and alter reality to uncover the mysteries of ZIX.
ZIX IS COMING TO EARLY ACCESS ON SEPTEMBER 18th 2025
In the boundless cosmos, order is dull—but chaos is beautiful.
Welcome to ZIX, a mind-bending VR roguelike where every run is a vivid hallucination, and every choice twists the fabric of reality.
You are an Acolyte, an agent of cosmic entropy and devout servant of the insatiable deity known only as Zix. Your calling?
Weaponize absurdity, embrace beautiful destruction, and remix existence.
Reality is just another offering.
Before each run, you'll harvest surreal blessings from three strange worlds—then fuse them through ritual, creating your next trial. These divine ingredients don't merely tweak numbers—they warp the very fabric of reality.
A few twisted possibilities:
Enemies leave tombstones that become deadly turrets.
Healing is doubled, but you can’t revive allies.
You’re stalked by a massive, unstoppable beast that kills anything it touches.
Friendly fire enabled—only one can reach the exit.
Each ritual births new mechanics, fresh perils, and divine complications. With millions of possible combinations, no two runs play the same—deeper your devotion, the stranger Zix’s blessings become.
No face buttons. No menus. Nothing to distract you and break the trance. Just pure motion and momentum.
First Instinct is ZIX’s custom-built movement & combat system—a divine dance where you dash, leap, wall-run, block, and hurl weapons using just two triggers and intuitive gestures that echo your intentions. It’s fast, fluid, and expressive—like pulling off stunts from an action movie, but you’re the one doing it.
Combat rewards precise timing, rhythmic improvisation, and devotion to Zix’s chaotic will. Chain your movements and attacks together seamlessly. Become a perfect vessel, reading your enemies and adapting without thought.
You don’t just fight—you perform.
The chaos doesn’t just warp the world—it rewires you.
Each run, Zix grants you new blessings: augments and weapons that transform how your Acolyte moves, fights, and survives. These aren’t mere stat boosts—they’re divine mutations, reshaping the character to match your playstyle .
Throw your blade and teleport on impact, cleansing the battlefield in a fiery AOE blast.
Fire arrows that fracture mid-air, seeking out targets with unholy precision.
Convert your dashes into explosions of divine retribution.
And beneath the flesh of mechanics lies the skin of expression: every Acolyte can be shaped, adorned, and corrupted. Customize your look with arcane attachments, palette shifts, and ritual markings—transform yourself into a servant worthy of Zix’s gaze.
With millions of combinations, no two runs—or Acolytes—are ever alike. Will you become a precision duelist, a physics-breaking chaos goblin or something…else?
Play solo or with up to two fellow Acolytes in seamless co-op.
Coordinate builds. Resurrect each other mid-chaos. Stack conflicting ingredients and see what happens—maybe brilliance, maybe a flaming collapse. Either way, ZIX adapts. Whether you ride alone or summon a coven, the run bends to your party’s collective will.
This isn’t just multiplayer. It’s a shared hallucination. A chaos ritual. A test of bonds in a world that breaks everything.
ZIX isn’t just chaos—it’s a riddle wrapped in madness.
As you mix ingredients and survive your runs, you’ll uncover new relics of entropy—some unlock secret bosses, others distort entire worlds, or open story paths that were never meant to be found.
Between runs, you’ll encounter cryptic NPCs. Symbols that recur. Events that feel like bugs, until they don’t. Patterns emerge. Meanings shift. Some doors only open when the Cauldron is stirred just so.
Every choice you make might lead to something beneath the surface.
Some profound truths are waiting for the right Acolyte.
Others are better left buried.
