Steam Fedora Package for ARM64

Fedora package modified from Terra and Terra has to be installed for dependencies.

Steam script modified from ROCKNIX.

Warning

This is an experimental unreleased Steam Client, the install may break at any time. If you installed this before 11.08.26 then I urge you to delete ~/.local/share/Steam and ~/.steam to avoid issues.

Installation on distros other than Fedora

This is primarily for Fedora but Steam arm64 isnt readily available yet so im including this as a simple and easy way for people on other distros to get started (sudo/root privileges required):

WARNING: This will overwrite x86 Steam if you have it installed

git clone `https://github.com/JustRadical/steam-arm64-fedora.git`
cd steam-arm64-fedora
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/steam && sudo cp *.vdf /usr/share/steam/
sudo cp steam /usr/bin/steam
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/steam

Setup

After installing the package you just run steam in a terminal to download, install and open steam.

Playing games (ARM64EC Proton)

After installing you can change the default compatibility tool in Steam from Settings (or alternatively you can change on a per-game basis through properties):

Playing games (x86_64 Proton/x86_64 Native)

To play native games or through x86_64 Proton you need to have FEX installed with binfmt support and you need to have a rootfs set up.

On Fedora FEX can be installed with sudo dnf install fex-emu and a RootFS can be set up with FEXRootFSFetcher.

After setting up FEX-Emu you can simply launch your game and it will use FEX automatically if its a native or x86_64 Proton game.
