Steam is missing #54

Closed NOhs closed 6 years ago

NOhs commented 7 years ago

To convince ppl of the easy to use nature of this project, I think we should offer at least steam, which is one of the easy ways to game on linux.

GPMueller commented 7 years ago

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam we would need to

determine if the device is x86 or x64 (though we could just assume x64)
install 32bit packages from the multilib repository
maybe install ttf-liberation or Steam fonts for arial
also have EN_US locale generated

However many more errors may occur, which will probably be system-dependent... See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_runtime_issues

GPMueller commented 7 years ago

Since steam ran nicely without additional measures, aside of activating the multilib repo, I think we can just add this package to one of the sets or create an additional gaming set.

NOhs commented 7 years ago

Agreed
