|

-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Steam* Integration is a helper system to make the Steam Client and Steam
|
||||
games run better on Linux. In a nutshell, LSI automatically applies various workarounds
|
||||
to get games working, and fixes long standing bugs in both the game and the client.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In many cases this will involve controlling which libraries are allowed to be used
|
||||
at any given time, and these libraries may be overriden for any of the following
|
||||
reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
- Security
|
||||
- Compatibility
|
||||
- Performance
|
||||
|
||||
With LSI, you don't need to worry any more about manually mangling your Steam installation
|
||||
just to make the open source drivers work, or manually creating links and installing
|
||||
unsupported libraries. LSI is designed to take care of all of this for you.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that LSI will not modify your Steam installation, and instead makes use of two
|
||||
modules, `liblsi-redirect.so` and `liblsi-intercept.so`, to dynamically apply all of the
|
||||
workarounds at runtime, which in turn is set up by the main LSI `shim` binary.
|
||||
|
||||
For a more in depth view of what LSI is, and how to integrate it into your distribution,
|
||||
please check the [technical README document](https://github.com/solus-project/linux-steam-integration/blob/master/TECHNICAL.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Do note that we intend to remove the need for distributions to integrate LSI in the near future, by providing
|
||||
the LSI system as a [snap](https://snapcraft.io/) package for all supported distributions.
