Steam does not exist in repos on ARM based distributions. So no, you can't just also run the Linux version of Steam and games without a need to use Wine... When it comes to using Box86 on ARM.
- spijdar 6y agoHuh? You totally can -- it's even mentioned down in the README in the github repo: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86#notes-about-steam https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86#notes-about-steam You can download a straight tar.gz file from Steam [0], extract it, and run the contained steam executable with box86, and as long as you have the ARM versions of some native libraries installed as mentioned in the project readme, x86 Linux steam will run fine, no wine required. Fun fact, box86 also works on PowerPC, I got it running at the start of the year. Not sure how much has bitrotted, but if you've got a POWER8/9/10 machine, it can run box86 ;) (without JIT, so dramatically slower than in the article, but better than qemu usermode!)
