I’ve installed Steam using Crostini in the past and played CounterStike using it. It was technically playable, but not good performance wise. Although I do have a higher spec Chromebook now, so maybe it would be better. Although many Chromebooks are lower spec, so it’s possible there aren’t enough games that are reasonably playable.
I’m guessing the point of this project was to make it as easy as installing Android apps, a “one click” install.

They are adding linux support tho? Can’t you just install steam using crostini? I’ve never used it just heard of it.
seems unnecessary to support it natively if the goal is to have ppl run linux apps that way

Just tested again with a few different games.
So it looks like I’d have to dig in and figure out why some failed to play. Any big games are probably out.
