Update linux installation guide to add Distrobox workaround for Ubuntu & Debian #159
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
While I'm fine with offering workaround we really wanna figure out why Ubuntu/Debian don't work with Northstar. Especially as Ubuntu still makes up ~10% of Linux users on Steam. |
getting ubuntu/debian working would be ideal, but until then this is the method we've been suggesting to people that don't want to swap to a known working distro like Fedora or Arch |
Hmm, I kinda wanna put this PR on hold until we got stuff with Flatpak figured out if that's alright with you ^^" Main reason is that installing Flatpak Steam is a lot easier than messing with Distrobox IMO (installing Distrobox, installing Steam in Distrobox, updating distro container, ...) and Flatpak most likely also has a larger userbase than running Steam in Distrobox meaning that there's also other locations where the user could look for support in regards to Flatpak Steam. |
Sure, I'll do some testing with flatpak on debian today and see what's up with it and if it works or not |
Set to draft until we got this figure out ^^ |
(set as ready to review temporarily to test merge perms rq) |
What's the state of this? Flatpak and Snap neither worked on Ubuntu, right? |
Flatpak didn't work on Ubuntu, and assuming the same case for Snap (I didn't test snap, Jan is supposed to be testing it on real hardware though) |

Taking out of draft back to open. |
Given that @Jan200101 found that Proton works also on Ubuntu and most setups given some config changes, I'm not sure if this PR is still needed ^^ |
Removed the
GLIBC
version warning as it isn't quite relevant since Ubuntu and Debian don't work in general, might still be valid for Void Linux? unconfirmed if NS works on Void or not.
