Welcome to the guide on how to install Steam on BredOS! Follow these simple steps to get Steam up and running on your system.
Note: Steam seems to work only on X11 desktops. Also, it may not work on all devices (mainly non-RK3588 devices).
You may need to add the BredOS Multilib repository to install Steam and the necessary translation layers. To do this, follow these steps:
bredos-multilib
package sudo pacman -S bredos-multilib
sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S steam
After executing the command, you will see a message prompting you to select an option. Choose the appropriate option based on your configuration:
lib32-vulkan-swrast
steam-libs-any
.steam-libs-rk3588
.If you need to uninstall Steam and reset the configuration to choose a different option:
sudo pacman -Rnscu steam steam-libs-any #or steam-libs-rk3588 depending on your selection
Once the installation is complete, you can launch Steam by searching for it in your application menu or by running:
steam
Happy gaming! 🎮✨
