Linux gaming had become easier and easier over the years thanks to the wonderful communities at Lutris and PlayOnLinux and the implementations of Vulcan on the Linux side of computing. I have arranged the options by steps, but sometimes the steps need to be changed based on the local implementation, previous installed packages and preference. Without further ado, let’s begin:
Install 32 bit architecture and 32 bit core libraries
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
Update/upgrade the system
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install Graphics Card or Proprietary Drivers using “Additional Drivers”
This process differs for NVIDIA/AMD graphic cards respectively, but it should be relatively easy in Ubuntu. Specifically for NVIDIA, the ubuntu-drivers tool can be used.
ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-xxx
Where xxx is the driver version found with the ubuntu-drivers tool.
Shot out to linuxize blog for the tool. Head there if you need more details.
Install Microsoft fonts
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Install Ubuntu restricted extras
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Install Lutris
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutrissudo apt updatesudo apt install lutris
Once installed, search for the game page and run script.
Happy hunting!
