BioShock Remastered is a re-release of the hit 2007 game BioShock, which focuses on an underwater city in the 1960s. The game runs excellent on Linux, thanks to some tweaks. Here\u2019s how to get it working on your PC.<\/p>\n

\"BioShock<\/p>\n

BioShock Remastered works on Linux quite well, thanks to the developers choosing to release it to Steam and making it possible to use it with Steam Play. However, as you need Steam Play to enjoy the game on Linux, we will need to go over how to set up Steam for Linux.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, the Steam app is installable on your computer via the\u00a0Apt\u00a0<\/strong>install command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
On Debian Linux, the best way to install Steam is by manually downloading the DEB package to your PC and installing it, rather than dealing with the Debian \u201cNon-free\u201d software repository.<\/p>\n
To download the Steam DEB package to your computer, your best bet is to make use of the following\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>command. It will download the package directly to your home folder without any hard work.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
When the download process is complete, the installation of Steam can begin. Using the\u00a0dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command below, install Steam on your Debian PC.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
With Steam installed, you\u2019ll need to take care of the dependencies. To take care of these dependencies, you\u2019ll have to use the following apt-get install -f\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
On Arch Linux, users are able to use the Steam app, provided the \u201cMultilib\u201d software repository is enabled and ready to use. Not every Arch user has \u201cMultilib\u201d available initially, so we\u2019ll need to go over how to set it up briefly.<\/p>\n
Open up your \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file, locate \u201cmultilib\u201d in the file and remove all # symbols. Then, re-sync pacman using the command below. This command will set up the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository so that you can install Steam.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
With \u201cmutlilib\u201d ready to go, install the Steam app on Arch Linux with the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
On both Fedora and OpenSUSE, the Steam application is available for installation through software repositories that come included with the operating system. That said, the Flatpak Steam app seems to work better on both of these operating systems, so we suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on Flatpak, you\u2019ll first need to set up the Flatpak runtime. The runtime is easy to install. To get it working on your computer, head over to our guide on how to set up Flatpak on Linux.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve configured the Flatpak runtime on your system, the installation of Steam via Flatpak can begin. Using the\u00a0flatpak remote-add\u00a0<\/strong>command, get the Flathub app store up and running.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Flathub app store is configured and ready to use, you can install the Steam application on your computer using the\u00a0flatpak install\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
