The Talos Principle is a 2014 puzzle game developed by Croteam and published by Devolver Digital. The game centers on a philosophical storyline, where the player completes tasks given to them by a god-like figure. Here\u2019s how to play The Talos Principle on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Talos Principle works well on Linux, as it is a native game for the platform. That being said, it was never released as a stand-alone game and is only available on Steam. So, you\u2019ll have to get Steam for Linux installed.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To install Steam for Linux, you\u2019ll need to open up a terminal window on the desktop. You can open up a terminal window on the desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Alternatively, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

When the terminal window is open, follow the command-line installation instructions below that corresponds with the Linux OS you currently use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, you can install the latest release of Steam by using the following apt install<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on Debian, you\u2019ll have to download the latest Steam DEB package to your computer. You can download this DEB package quickly by entering the following wget<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the package is done downloading to your computer, you\u2019ll have to install it to your system. To install the Steam DEB package to your computer, use the dpkg<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Once the DEB package is installed on your system, Steam is installed. However, you\u2019ll also need to correct any dependencies that may not have been resolved during the installation.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
It is possible to get Steam up and running on Arch Linux. However, you\u2019ll first need to enable the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To do that, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf file in your favorite text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
Once the text file is open, find the \u201cmultilib\u201d section, and remove the # symbol from in front of it, as well as the lines directly below it. Then, save the edits and re-sync Arch Linux with the official servers.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the latest release of Steam on your Linux computer using the pacman<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE users can set up Steam through software repositories included in the operating system. That being said, the Flatpak release of Steam works a lot better, and we suggest installing that instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get the Steam version of Flatpak up and running on your Linux system, you\u2019ll need first to set up the Flatpak runtime. Set up the Flatpak runtime on your Linux PC by following our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
Then, when the runtime is up and running, you\u2019ll be able to get the Steam app up and running using the two commands below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
