I just recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 and everything is setup and running smoothly.

I want to play Windows Steam games on Ubuntu. I installed PlayOnLinux and then installed Steam through that. The installation went perfectly, but now I'm stuck. I don't know if I am supposed to install my Steam games through Steam after launching it through PlayonLinux or install them using just PlayOnLinux?

Thanks and sorry for the long message, Good day.

  • Any specific reason why you installed Steam through PlayOnLinux? sudo apt-get install steam would install the native steam client.

    @mchid I can imagine many good reason to install Steam via POL. But to give a good answer I wanted to know the specific reason (I.e. which game) why he did so.

For running windows only games, you can startup wine from playonlinux and install them from steam.

Although, you can usually install games directly from playonlinux as well.
