How to play Dead Space on Linux – Easy Steps

Dead Space is a survival horror game developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts. The game was released on PS3, Xbox 360, and Windows. Here’s how to play Dead Space on Linux.

Dead Space was released on Steam but was never ported to Linux. Fortunately, the Steam app comes with Proton, taking games from Windows and making them work on Linux. To get the latest version of Steam working on your Linux PC, open a terminal window.

Instalar Steam

To open a terminal window on the Linux desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard. Or search for “Terminal” in the application menu and run it that way. When the terminal window is open and ready to use, follow the instructions below.

Ubuntu

To get Steam to work on your Ubuntu system, use the following fit to install command below.

sudo apt install steam

Debian

Those looking to get Steam to work on Debian will need to download the latest Steam DEB package on their computers. Using the wget download command then grab latest DEB package file from Valve.

wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb

After downloading the Steam DEB package to your computer, you can begin the installation. Using the dpkg command download, set the latest version of the Steam DEB package.

sudo dpkg -i steam.deb

Once the Steam DEB package is configured on your system, you will need to correct any dependencies that may have arisen during the installation process using the apt-get install -f.

Arch Linux

Steam works on Arch Linux, but you will have to configure the “multilib” software repository on your computer beforehand. To do that, open the /etc/pacman.conf file in your favorite text editor (as root).

Once the text editor is open on your computer, find the “multilib” line and remove the # symbol from the front. Then remove the # symbols from the lines directly below. When done, save your edits and run the following command.

sudo pacman -Syy

Finally, set the latest version of Steam on your computer using the Pacman command below.

sudo pacman -S steam

Fedora / OpenSUSE

If you use Fedora or OpenSUSE Linux, you will be able to configure the latest version of Steam on your computer using the software repositories included with the operating system. That being said, the Flatpak version of the app works much better, and we suggest using it instead.

Flatpak

To get Steam to work like Flatpak, start by installing the latest version of the Flatpak runtime on your computer. If you need help setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, follow our guide on the subject.

Enter the two commands below to configure Steam on your computer after configuring the latest version of the Flatpak runtime on your computer.
