I don’t know enough about the underlying technology to say if that would work well, but given the level of hardware access games need that sounds really dicey.

I don’t know enough about the underlying technology to say if that would work well, but given the level of hardware access games need that sounds really dicey. Ubuntu is a fine distro, but it doesn’t really offer anything terribly unique you can’t get elsewhere, whereas Steam definitely does.
- stingraycharles 7y agoThis is actually very much possible, and will not cause much of a performance degradation (if any). You can easily directly expose the underlying hardware to a container, and it is in fact very much possible to run games from a container. And I say this as someone who ran games on NixOS inside an Ubuntu container as a workaround (because nix is pretty weird when it comes to dynamic linking).
