my man. you just saved christmas . I didn't realize Steam wouldn't run on a chromebook until we were setting it up for little one today. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I had to get a Chromebook for school when my older laptop stopped working, and I've been so sad I can't play my Steam games.

Thank you so much and to all those that its not working for-
After it's finished installing, wait 5 mins before the reboot. Then another 5 minutes when it restarts before opening the terminal.

Thank you! I've been busting my ass trying to figure out how to play steam games on my Chromebook. Just one thing I wanted to mention:

After I entered the steam code in terminal, it didn't initially download right away as you explained it would. I got some weird kind of error message at the bottom, It said something like "search for dvg --configure a" (or something along those lines). So what I did was entered in the dvg -- text thing and hit enter. It then resolved the error. I then tried the Steam code again and it worked like you said it would! I'm just putting this here in case someone encounters that error. I wasn't sure what to do, I almost gave up before just trying to enter in that extra text.

The correct branch to use is "main", rather than "master". That said, the file in question is currently the same on both branches.

I loved this tutorial, but I would of loved if you went a bit more in-depth when you opened linux terminal

[fxdnitrous]

I watched like 10 videos before this but this is the one that actually worked, awesome tutorial!

[moony]

When I typed in that coding sequence it didn’t work at all. Is there a step I missed or something I did wrong to cause that?

[rileighpardon]

I have a HP Chromebook, just tried it and it works! Just take your time go step by step.
