Doom Eternal is the 5th entry in the Doom series developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. It\u2019s a sequel to Doom (2016) and once again follows Doomguy on his mission to foil the alien Maykr\u2019s plans. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to play it on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"Doom:<\/p>\n

Doom: Eternal works great on Linux, but only with the help of Proton and Steam Play. For this reason, you\u2019ll need to install the Linux version of Steam to get the game working.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To install Steam on your Linux PC, open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop. To open up a terminal window, press\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Alternatively, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and open it that way.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open and ready to use, follow along with the installation instructions outlined below to get Steam working on your Linux PC.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, you can install the Steam application by using the following\u00a0Apt\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
On Debian Linux, it is best to get the Steam app up and running by downloading the Steam DEB package directly, rather than dealing with the Steam included within Debian.<\/p>\n
To start the download, enter the following\u00a0wget<\/strong> command down below. This download will grab the Steam DEB package directly from Valve\u2019s website and place it into your home folder.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Steam app is done downloading, you\u2019ll be able to install the Steam DEB package onto your computer. Using the\u00a0dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command, set up the Steam DEB package on your system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
To play Steam games on Arch Linux, you\u2019ll need to have the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository enabled. To enable this repository, open up your Pacman.conf<\/code> file, and find the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository, delete all instances of # and save it. Then, resync Pacman with the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the Steam app on Arch Linux with the following\u00a0Pacman\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE have the ability to install Steam with software repositories included out of the box. However, we feel that the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on these operating systems, and you should follow those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
The Flatpak release of Steam works only if you enable the Flatpak runtime on your system. To enable the Flatpak runtime on your computer, please follow our in-depth guide on the subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the Flatpak runtime is installed and enabled on your system, you can install Steam. To install Steam, make use of 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
Play Doom: Eternal working on Linux<\/h3>\n
With Steam installed on your Linux PC, open it up and log in with your account information. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions below to get Doom: Eternal working on Linux!<\/p>\n
Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong>Open up the Steam menu, and locate the \u201cSettings\u201d button to access the Steam settings area. Once inside of the Steam settings area, locate the \u201cSteam Play\u201d section, and check both the Enable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d box and the \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles\u201d box.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Click the \u201cOK\u201d button to save your settings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cStore\u201d button, and click on it to access the Steam store. On the Steam store, locate the search box, and click on it to start a search. In the search box, type in \u201cDoom Eternal\u201d and press the enter key.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
View the search results, and locate \u201cDoom Eternal,\u201d then click on it to access the game\u2019s store page.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> On the Doom Eternal Steam store page, find the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button and click on it to add Doom Eternal to your cart. From there, click on the cart icon in Steam to purchase and add the game to your account.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve purchased Doom Eternal, add it to your Steam account, locate the \u201cLibrary\u201d button in Steam, and click on it to head over to your Steam library.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside of your Steam library, find the search box and type in \u201cDoom Eternal\u201d to locate the game inside of your collection. From there, locate the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
By selecting the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button, Steam will begin downloading Doom Eternal to your computer. This process may take a bit of time, as Doom Eternal is a huge game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step 5<\/strong>: When the download is complete, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Click on the green \u201cPLAY\u201d button to start up Doom Eternal! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
