How do I install e.g. Steam or similar on Linux because I need a simulator called "Velocidrone" on my laptop

br

How do you think that Steam runs properly with Linux?

Otherwise, read here if that helps

Steam and Linux. This can't go well…

Wr

I have no idea, that's why I'm asking.

Wr

I can't know, that's why I ask, how else can I install it?

That depends on the distribution you are using. With Ubuntu, Steam can be installed from the repositories. But it doesn't mean that the Velocidrone is running.

At Manjaro it's in the AUR, I think. With others you just have to use a search engine.

PS: according to the Velocidrone website, this is not available for Linux. But you can try to install it via Wine or PlayOnLinux.

Sorry, I assume that anyone who shoots LIUX on a notebook or PC is aware that this is not a gaming operating system.

Wasn't meant badly either.

You have the fewest problems when gaming with Windows, both the performance and the compatibility are higher.

Wr

Sorry only got the laptop as a present so Linux is on it ^^

br

Then you should think about installing Windows 10.

Wr

How does it work with Wine?

Wr

I just don't know if this is good for the PC, since it only has around 1.6 GHz anyway

Steam currently supports linux. https://www.protondb.com/
Don't just throw assertions into the room.

Just install the steam under linux. Thanks to the integrated proton, many games can be run directly.

Games with their own anticheat are particularly problematic

I'll try it out now!

If you have already considered this, what are you going to play with?

Simulator called "Velocidrone"…

Do you mean this:

If so, here you will find instructions on how to install it and other solutions to any problems:

How do I install e.g. Steam…

You can install Steam either from the repositories of your distribution (recommended) or directly from the Steam website (not recommended for beginners). However, I didn't find Velocidrone on Steam.

Wr

Would it really be that easy? So just unzip the zip and then?

Wr

Velocidrone.

No

As indicated there you have to unzip the archive, make the file "VelociDrone_x86" executable (e.g. With chmod) and then execute it to start the program.

In another comment you wrote that you do not have the minimum requirements for the game, so problems can arise (e.g. Game does not start, is too slow, …), and there are other known problems depending on the Linux distribution you are using for which you can find solutions in the link above.
