I recently switched from Windows to Linux and I was using the Steam Tools application on Windows to get Steam games for free, but I can't find a version of Steam Tools on Linux. What should I do ???

tardy stump
#

As far as I am aware, there is Steam Tools NG

#

which does seem to have a build for Linux

#

I am wait nevermind, its no longer being maintained

#

Steam Tools NG doesn't seem to be getting any updates

Oh sorry, I had gone away for a second.

#

so you got Steam Tools NG?

#

I think you could have just used Steam Tools itself

#

Pardon me for this confusion, please wait a bit.

#

Is this the steam tools you were talking about?

primal valve
#

yes it is

tardy stump
#

Uhh

#

it seems solely windows only

primal valve
#

I want to thank you for following up with me.

tardy stump
#

#

wait lemme show it to you.

tardy stump
#

Hey, it seems there is no alternative nor any provided script for it to run on Linux natively.

tardy stump
#

You can just run Steamtools itself in Wine/Proton

#

do you know how to use Proton or Wine?

primal valve
tardy stump
#

Oh

#

are you on Linux Mint atm?

#

like are you on your device at the moment?

primal valve
tardy stump
#

and do you have steam installed?

primal valve
#

i will install it now

tardy stump
primal valve
#

m trying to do it but some errors kill me

tardy stump
#

Steamtools NG doesn't seem to be supported anymore

primal valve
#

ahaaa that's whyy

tardy stump
#

well once you install steam, you can run steam and then do you know how to enable proton translation layer on steam?

primal valve
#

tardy stump
#

Oh wait, didn't you say you could help yourself?

I am sorry bit I am actually a bit busy atm and won't actually be able to help anymore 😭

#

But let me just leave an outline of what you could try out to solve the issue;

Install steam, then enable Proton (within steam), download the Steam tolls app, add it to steam's games list, run it, and it could work
