trying to get steam to work on arch with nvidia
pray for me
if you have tips let me hear em :`)

specs (my asus baby)
· Core i7
· 16G ddr3 RAM
· GeForce 745m
+ 256G ssd & 1T hdd
+ 1920x1080 display (unknown refresh rate)

Isn't there a install script by antergos or something?

yaourt nvidia and read the descriptions.

update: looks good folks! and it wasn't flatpak, so i assume i can theme it as well!

@olback i found a tutorial on youtube that has you pacman
-S
nvidia
steam
lib32-nvidia-utils
lib32-nvidia-libgl

and then i ran steam through the terminal, and it all looks great! i had an issue earlier where steam would hang on " installing breakpad exception handler on appid etc..." and saw i just needed the 32 bit nvidia drivers

ehm, 32bit drivers?
Well anyway if you found a way to fix this that is great mate

@legionfrontier maybe not drivers - certian other packages aside from just nvidia and steam

I've been running Steam in Arch pretty much the moment it came out. Sadly, that was so long ago, I don't have any tips for you, sorry. I just know it works.

@sslPoodle there's always the gamejolt client

@ParkCity gamejolt still alive? I would rather use Itchio

Follow the guide from Antergos and u’ll be good 😁😁 ( correct Optimus installation )

Ayee, 745m user, I greet you as a 860m user.
I'ma bout to install Arch myself, don't think I'll be installing steam anytime tho. I have haven't used Linux that much in the past. School work tends to keep me busy

NVIDIA has better drivers than AMD on Linux...

@filthyranter they always have

@agentwolf44 just go with nouveau (the one it automatically installs). Steam won't run unless you install the proprietary drivers, which sucks since nouveau works so nicely. i installed ubuntu because i had an iso laying around in my downloads folder, and steam works fine without install8ng extra drivers (because ubuntu/debian is the only officially supported version of steam for linux)
