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 games 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
|
|
|
|
Additionally we apply dynamic workarounds to fix some filesystem path related bugs in Linux
|
|
ports (or even shader workarounds for ARK*) through our redirect module.
|
|
|
|
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.

## Getting LSI
|
|
|
|
LSI may not yet be available for your distribution, however some community maintained repositories do exist.
|
|
|
|
- [Arch Linux](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-steam-integration/)
|
|
- [Fedora](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/alunux/linux-steam-integration/)
|
|
- Solus uses LSI by default, just install the `steam` package.
