Steam is a gaming platform, the titles it offers can only be played by installing the official Steam client. Thus first of all you need to have it installed If you dont have it installed In this article I explain how to install Steam on Fedora.
But it is also applicable to CentOS and to virtually all distributions in the Fedora family, such as Mageia.

That clarified…just to say: Welcome to FedGamer.net! a site dedicated to Linux gaming whether its Fedora, Debian, or your favorite distro! Lets go with the tutorial!

How to install Sakura Clicker from Steam on Linux

Step 1: Launch the Steam application on your machine and log in with your user:

Step 2: Click on the Steam tab you’ll see at the top left once you’re logged in. When you click it, a list of options will drop down click on Settings or Preferences.

Step 3: When you click on Settings, a window with several options will open on the left the last is Steam Play. Click it and you will see the following:

As you can observe the first checkbox that says Enable Steam Play for supported titles is enabled if it isn’t, enable it. And at the bottom where it indicates Proton Experimental click it and choose the highest version, that is, the most recent, note the first number and as you can see in this screenshot, were at 7. Finally, check (if it isnt) the checkbox that says: Enable Steam Play for other titles.

Hit OK to confirm. Attached here is another screenshot:

Note: It’s not recommended to use the experimental version, because it often has bugs as a test version and its best not to use it except if a game doesn’t work as a last resort.

Step 4: With Proton enabled, Steam may restart on its own. If it doesn’t happen, close it and open it again. When it restarts, Proton packages usually download, and if it doesn’t then, it will in the next step.

Step 5: Go back to the Steam Library, or Library, and there you’ll see your games. Now Windows games should look like this:

In place of this:

In case you didn’t notice the subtle difference now the Install button appears active because it’s available for our Linux distro, in this case Fedora.

Step 6: Click Install. If the packages didn’t download before, it may start downloading Proton now, so be patient. After that, the game will download and install if it doesn’t, click Install again.

And that’s it, you just need to follow the installation instructions you see in Steam. When the window you see here appears, if we choose Create Desktop Shortcut it will create a shortcut, like Firefox or LibreOffice. And if we don’t check that option, we’ll have to open Steam each time we want to start the game (which I find tidier, but it’s a matter of preference).

Step 7: Play!

Is the game Sakura Clicker compatible with Linux Fedora

In principle yes, thanks to Proton but I must add that it is not ideal in all cases the adaptation of a game originally for Windows to Linux. While it is true that in almost all cases it runs without issues there are sometimes exceptions. Sadly, you cannot know in advance if it will cause an error or not, in my case I never had this issue, but it could happen.

To know for sure beforehand, there is a way: consult the community’s experience, namely: what other players have commented. The community has set up a site where users leave their feedback on each game mentioning their OS, hardware components, etc. At a glance you can see if someone with your distro, be it Fedora, Ubuntu or any other, had a good or bad experience.

The page Im referring to is ProtonDB and to quickly check if a Windows Steam game works on Linux, the best thing is to look at the rating:

Native: It’s a native Linux game, created specifically for it.
Platinum: Works perfectly on Linux.
Gold: Works very well, with maybe a minor fix easily solvable.
Silver: Works with a minor issue that doesn’t impair gameplay.
Bronze: Works, but sometimes stops or has major errors.
Borked: Doesn’t work: won’t start or crashes too much.

Here’s a screenshot as an example. As you can see, for Resident Evil the category is Platinum:

Logically, from Silver up means the game will run quite well or even perfectly. Another thing we can do is look at comments from users with the same distro as ours. In any case, you can check the compatibility of Sakura Clicker on Linux here:
