Geometry Dash is a music platformer game developed by Robert Topala. The game is available to play on iOS, Android, as well as Microsoft Windows via Steam. In the game, players control a character\u2019s movement and navigate through a series of music-based levels while avoiding obstacles and hazards.<\/p>\n

\"Geometry<\/p>\n

While Geometry Dash isn\u2019t officially ported to Linux, it can run on the platform with a few tweaks. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to play Geometry Dash on Linux.<\/p>\n

The Geometry Dash game works great on Linux, but only with Proton\u2019s power, which is built into Steam for Linux.\u00a0 For this reason, we\u2019ll need to demonstrate how to set up the Steam client.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To start installing Steam on Linux, start by opening up a terminal window on the Linux desktop. To open up a terminal window on your Linux desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or, open up the app menu, search for \u201cTerminal,\u201d and do it that way.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open and ready to use, follow the command-line installation instructions that correspond with the Linux OS you currently use to get the Steam app up and running.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, get the Steam application up and running by using the\u00a0Apt\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on Debian, you\u2019ll need to download the latest Steam DEB package to your computer manually. To do that, use the wget\u00a0<\/strong>downloader command below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After the Steam DEB package\u2019s download is complete, the installation of Steam on Debian can begin. Using the dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command below, install the latest release of Steam on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Once Debian has Steam installed, fix the dependency issues that may have arisen during the installation process by entering the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
On Arch Linux, users can install the Steam application by making use of the Pacman\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
On both Fedora Linux as well as OpenSUSE, users can install the Steam application through their included software sources. However, the Flatpak version of Steam works much better on these two operating systems, so we recommend installing that instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working via Flatpak, you must first enable the Flatpak runtime. To enable the runtime on your Linux PC, follow our in-depth guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
Now that the Flatpak runtime is configured on your Linux PC, the next step is to set up the Flathub app store. To set up the Flathub app store on your computer, enter the following command below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
With the Flathub app store set up, it is time to install Steam on your Linux PC. To do that, use the following command below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install Geometry Dash on Linux<\/h3>\n
Once Steam is installed on your computer, open it up and log in with your user credentials. When the app is open, follow along with the step-by-step instructions below to get Geometry Dash working.<\/p>\n
Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong>First, open up the Steam menu by clicking on \u201cSteam.\u201d From there, find the \u201cSettings\u201d button and select it to open up the Steam settings area. In the Steam settings area, check \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d and \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Click the \u201cOK\u201d button to save the changes.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cSTORE\u201d button and click on it with the mouse to access the Steam store. Inside the Steam store, select the search box, and type out \u201cGeometry Dash.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Press the\u00a0Enter\u00a0<\/strong>key to view the search results. Select \u201cGeometry Dash\u201d to access the game\u2019s Steam page.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> On the Geometry Dash Steam page, find the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button, and click on it to add the game to your account. Once you\u2019ve purchased it, select the \u201cLibrary\u201d button to access your Steam games library.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Inside your Steam games library, select Geometry Dash, and find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button to download and install the game to your computer. The game will not take long to install.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Geometry Dash doesn\u2019t require anything to configure. Just select the green \u201cPLAY\u201d button to start up the game. Please note that Geometry Dash may take a bit to start up, as Steam must configure it to run on Linux.<\/p>\n
When Geometry Dash starts up, you\u2019ll be ready to play! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Troubleshooting<\/h3>\n
