steam and gaming

Can geckolinux be used for gaming by downloading steam wine and lutris ?

Hi there, thanks for the question. I'm not a gamer, but as far as I know it should work.
https://software.opensuse.org/package/steam
https://software.opensuse.org/package/lutris

[vento124]

yes but you mean directly downloading opensuse or will it also work on gecko linux

[geckolinux]

Please read the explanation of how GeckoLinux is built on the http://geckolinux.github.io website. GeckoLinux is openSUSE.

[vento124]

yes but I noted when you open the link it says for opensuse 15.4 so it can be downloaded also for gecko linux ?

[geckolinux]

GeckoLinux Static directly uses the openSUSE Leap 15.4 repositories.
GeckoLinux Rolling directly uses the openSUSE Tumbleweed repositories.
GeckoLinux is openSUSE.

So if I download the link for steam for opensuse 15.4 Offcial release it will work the same for gecko linux ?

[geckolinux]

The steam package will be available for installation in the YaST Software manager in GeckoLinux.

I would recommend using this tool - https://github.com/Ahmed-Al-Balochi/LibreGaming

It allows you to install all the packages needed and you can also install the latest version of Proton.
