I can't run Don't Starve [Ubuntu 15.10]

You should definitely use the Linux version of the game, and not try to run the Windows version with PlayOnLinux.

Install the Linux version of Steam from the Ubuntu software center, and then you can install the Linux version of the game which should run without issues.

Downloading Steam from Ubuntu Software Center + Terminal worked! I can't thank you and Booman enough for putting up with me.

I just have one question, where do all my files go after I download the Linux version of steam? I can't seem to find them.

It should be .steam/steam/steamapps/common by default, you may have to unhide your home folder to see it.

I got steam off of PlayOnLinux is that what you meant?

Ah that is it!
Don't Starve runs in Linux natively, so you don't need PlayOnLinux or Wine
I'm glad I asked!

Just download Steam from here: http://store.steampowered.com/about/
Then login, download Don't Starve and it will work fine.

Except we found that he was using the Windows Steam through PlayOnLinux
