what distro are you using and how did you choose to install steam?

>>107010340
When he answers, are you going to do the meme and screech: “THAAAATS THE WRONG DISTROOOO!!!!!”

>>107010362
i mean, no, unless its a really fucking retarded distro made by a single tranny or something. I want to see how he did what he did and why it happened. Whats wrong with that?

The reason I ask for which distro he used is because they have different package managers and different ways of installing things. Perhaps he tried installing a flatpak version of steam but his flatpak permissions are so locked down it couldnt access anything else on his computer. Theres literally a dozen different reasons why something could have failed and unless we see the logs we cant know why.

ignore those retards, at this point this is trolling, linux still is fucking crap and no, when someone tell you everything works, it's 90 percent of the time a lie

nta but these threads make it sound like OP is trying to install Steam on some tinkertranny shit like Arch or Gentoo.

I use Debian -> I download the .deb file from the official website -> open it -> dialog opens with an install button.

>>107010340
Nah, I'm not getting baited with the most loaded fucking questions ever, where no matter what fucking answers I give, I've always somehow made the worst choices possible and "don't know shit about computers" like every other response in this fucking thread, or any other thread about this goddamn abomination of an OS. But I'll give a bit of info anyways. I installed steam, through THEIR download. Which I thought should work fine considering their prior use of linux. Or at least "better" than the completely useless dogshit software managers that are (for some goddamn reason) BUILT INTO nearly every fucking distro, yet shouldn't be used because

>lol just copy past these 20+ commands of techno-babble into the terminal and that will install it

Considering the fucking thing, AND the game I installed (through some divine miracle no doubt) actually fucking work (despite the error I mentioned, as well as even more errors booting the game a second time (or fucking course this is a recurring theme, software not working the same way between power cycles)) means that I wasn't completely retarded for thinking so.

But of course it's MY fault for everything not working or not jumping through possibly hours or troubleshooting shit that literally JUST FUCKING WORKS on windows, or at least if it doesn't you can easily find documentation that isn't just a bunch of self-proclaimed cyber-wizards having a technical dick-measuring contest of "how little" problems they've ever had.

>>107010448
>Fine, I'll bite. I'm using Mint.... One of the 3 main distros referenced on the fucking wiki and followed this anons exact steps.
Ok, yeah I can see why that might be scuffed. Mint uses flatpak (or snap?) on top of deb and they prob expect you to install it through some software center.
This is why I advocate for AppImages. AppImage is a more Mac-like system where you download a self contained executable that can be integrated with the rest of your system by simply dragging it into an Applications folder. I'm the minority though as most linux devs are autists that treat every package as a system component. Not even aware of a distro with native AppImage support.

>>107010517
mint ships a regular system package for steam not a flat pack

>>107010521
According to wikipedia it ships with flatpak.

I'm lying about installing steam directly from steam on Mint and it not working flawlessly?

>>107010478
I already said I got steam and a game installed.
I manually installed first party graphics card drivers which were AUTOMATICALLY replaced without my permission, or even notifying me. I didn't fuck up a goddamn thing.

>>107010506
I already told you exactly what happened. I installed the 1st party .deb on Mint. The program runs, but it's like the fucking ugly-hobbit from LOTR and can't live without it's precious fucking terminal window.

Linux exists only for servers and it sucks at that too.
The OS situation is horrible but at least windows lets you work between rapes. With linux you don't do anything at all for fear of being raped

I think you're the retard here buddy, functional bluetooth or not.

What happened every time is that you didn't read the documentation properly, if at all, fucked up your installation, attempted random fixes without understanding the issue, borked your system further, refused to learn and repeated it all with another distro. Judging by the fact that you can't tell the difference between foreground and background processes, you are unfit to use linux.

>>107010589
All you had to do was open the software manager and install Steam, it takes care of everything. I just did it myself in a clean install in a VM, it worked like in the video posted earlier.

>>107010517
>they prob expect you to install it through some software center
Not OP, but I do plan on getting into Linux for my next build. Can you not just do that shit through command line?

>>107010636
The software center is just the front end for the command line.
It does not make any difference whether you type sudo apt install steam or click on the install button in the software manager.

>>107010636
You can, unless you are OP apparently

>>107010636
You can do whichever method you want. Software Center is there for newbies/convenience, but you can also just sudo apt install steam

Consider giving Linux a try in a VM before your next build. You can safely distro hop and see how things work. Performance will not be as good as real hardware and you wouldn't really want to do actual gaming with it, but you can at least familiarise yourself with terminal usage, application installation, etc.

>>107010595
You're reading comprehension is shit and foreground/background processes have nothing to do with anything, if they do, then fucking explain how faggot. You're blaming me for shit that was changed without my permission after manually setting shit up. But it's always my fault. Fuck you and your OS.

So fuck installing steam directly from the 1st party download, a first party known for linux support
Use the shitty terminal command line or "software center" which are apparently the same thing....

And the goalpost is conveniently changed yet again...

Captcha: TOSXD

>>107010636
The command line is the most straightforward way to do things but in these threads opening a terminal is considered an instant L.
Normies think they have to learn "coding" to Google "What does permission denied mean when I run apt install"

>>107010738
>So fuck installing steam directly from the 1st party download, a first party known for linux support
You can do that too, but it's simply not as convenient as installing from the terminal or software manager. You're stuck in a Windows mindset, which is honestly understandable. I seriously recommend just grabbing whatever stuff you want through the software center. It will just install and work without you having to do anything special.

>>107010747
>I seriously recommend just grabbing whatever stuff you want through the software center. It will just install and work without you having to do anything special.
That's literally what I did for the bluetooth manager.

OP BTFO.

>>107010951
It just doesn't support the hardware very well, that's all. Asus FX505DT. It was unusable when the laptop launched and when I tried again earlier this year, it was usable, but limited in some ways. Bluetooth could not be made to work at all, I wasted an entire afternoon trying everything I could find online.

One thing to add, though, is that I require my little Windows install to change the keyboard backlight LEDs back to blue after removing the battery to reapply thermal paste. Otherwise, it does a faggy rainbow cycle that's incredibly annoying.

The issue seems to be that people try to use Linux like Windows

>>107011206
it's possible to use it like windows and sometimes it works better that way
you dont need to install every dependency from the package manager, you can drop the into the folder like windows dlls

How is this possible? My wife who knows nothing about operating systems installed Steam easily and everything else she needed. That machine even has an Nvidia GPU, but Ubuntu automatically installed the drivers when it was installed.

people forgot they had to learn how to use a computer likely because they did so as a kid when learning was far easier, and they've just sort of tricked themselves into thinking they already know everything they need to know, and learning something they don't know is just not worth doing. Then they hit a brick wall and rage about their current knowledge pool being insufficient

this is actually a good sign you're becoming a boomer. Boomers don't learn, boomers don't try, boomers just stick with what they figured out 30 years ago and then brute force everything to work around it or just shit their pants and stop using modern options. I see it all the time and being in my 30s, all my peers are like this now. The easiest way to stop being a dumb faggot boomer brained NPC is to always be learning something new, always keep that train of struggle going so you don't atrophy get lazy and then become avoidant to new things

Great news! There is are operating systems made just for people like you! Both Microsoft and Macintosh offer premium operating systems that handle much of the technical aspects of maintaining a computer for you! I hope you give them a try, no one likes to struggle on the computer!

In all seriousness, I wish I could help, but Nobara just works on my gaming rig. Kubuntu mostly just works on my mid-for-its-time 2016 laptop. When something doesn't work, I often enjoy figuring out how to make it work. Sometimes I can't figure it out, which is frustrating, but this is similar to my Windows experience.
