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.

Master a new way to fly and fight. Control every movement and engine burn. Simple controls, realistic flight: a game for space fans by a space fan.

Feel the freedom and speed of realistic space combat!

Key Features:

• a single-player, 3D space fighter simulator where everything moves according to real physics
  
• fly what is essentially a rocket with guns strapped to it
  
• learn to control inertia and plan your maneuvers
  
• the mouse is enough to fly and fight; full joystick and gamepad support; fully customizable controls
  
• earn mission medals depending on your ability: how many missions can you Ace ?

Why another game about space fighters:

The core idea of Thrust&Shoot is that physics doesn't need to be dumbed down to make a fun game. Things move differently in space and this difference shouldn't be camouflaged or erased. This is a space game for people who can understand and use inertia, and do not expect a spaceship to behave like a boat or an airplane.

Braking and strafing are luxuries for fighter pilots: nice, but far from vital. Capital ships have maneuver thrusters that can push them along all axes; for fighters, it's easiest to just turn and use the main thrusters for all their maneuvers. Guns only fire straight forward, but since you're flying in hard vacuum, you can turn the ship to fire in any direction at any time.

It all works with simple controls. You turn with the mouse, left-click to fire guns, right-click to accelerate forward. By default, you roll using the scroll wheel. Reloading and target selection are keyboard keys by default, but you can bind them to other mouse buttons or anything you want. The game has full joystick and gamepad support and you can configure controls to whatever you feel works best.

In this game, you're a cadet trying to pass the Academy's flight trials and become a certified combat pilot. Each mission teaches and tests your ability in a certain kind of combat scenario. The bronze medal signifies basic ability and is not too hard to earn, as long as you can perform the required task. Silver and gold are progressively harder and require you to polish your tactics and precision. Finally, the Ace medal is the mark of the expert and requires skill, patience, cunning and considerable luck.

The missions:

Basic Flight
The game's tutorial lets you familiarize yourself with the controls and shoot down some unarmed targets.

Obstacle Course
Race through an obstacle course. Improve your time to earn higher medals. You'll learn the basics of flight and maneuvering and blow up some practice targets along the way.

Point Defense
Defend your mothership against inbound missile salvos. Master interception and shooting down moving targets. Let none through !

Assault
Take out enemy fixed defenses. Dodge enemy fire, use precision flying to attack the enemy's weak points and level the opposition.

Dogfight
Fly a combat patrol and eliminate enemy fighters.

A word from the dev:

This is a passion project by a solo developer. I only have your feedback to guide me in my efforts. Suggestions and criticism, as well as bug reports, are extremely valuable. I will do my best to continue supporting and expanding Thrust&Shoot: Flight School and I hope you'll help me make the right decisions.

Thanks and Good Hunting !

“This game takes on the seemingly daunting task of presenting a fully-Newtonian physics model with a simplified control scheme, and it actually works great. Definitely a fun challenge!”
