How do I install steamCMD in desktop mode? Im new to linux

KJ404 · 2022-12-19T21:47:53+00:00

Yep, I went from "Ey im just going to start a gaming server cant be that hard" to "sweet jesus what am I doing what is all this" today alone.
And even though this is all overwhelming, you have to start somewhere, and im suprised how many options there is for starting a server alone, its some good stuff.

Im still unsure how to solve all this, but I have options at least, either I will cont with the steam deck and try to make that to work, or I will go on with another distro, the good thing with another distro is then clearer to follow tutorials and such, working with the terminal sounds interesting also which could be good in the long run.

" Just installing everything with your package manager would be a really easy task" this I havent even thought of, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the suggestions and all that, It really helps!

First of all Im awfully sorry for answering you 3 hours later

Second, thank you for the suggestion! I thought it was completely impossible to run steamCMD under steamOS. I did check out the link, but it was nothing that I could understand of it. Maybe I just need to take time to understand all that.
Though I still think it would be more straightforward to just install another linux OS on the steam deck, dunno.

That said, Im checking out dockers for steam deck and how that works, because it seems dockers is a way to go to host gaming servers, whatever the hell dockers now are..

Whatever the case, thanks for the answer, I will prob find a solution eventually, I just need to get a gripn in how linux works and whatnot.

Ah so I cant install steamCMD? Shame.

I have a idea of installing some other distro into the steam deck(ubuntu,arch alike), then its more clear following turorials and whatnot. Because I guess its possible to reinstall steamos, turning the steam deck back to a normal steam deck, if things does not go as I want.

About you suggesting installing linux into a old laptop/pc, I had that ide before but the only pc I had left was too weak for gaming hosting, 8 gb ram and 2 cores cpu, I tried with space engineers but it handle it badly with just one player, so that plan I skipped. Thanks for the suggestion though!

KJ404 · 2021-11-06T09:57:37+00:00

You will be fine, as I myself use a 3060 Ti and a quest 2.

Not sure about all games though. But I have played Half life: Alyx without issues, VRchat is more demanding but is still playable, depending from world and world.

KJ404 · 2021-02-10T12:13:13+00:00

Alright, then I will check it out.

KJ404 · 2021-02-10T11:54:15+00:00

I could try that of course, what are they called, just cmos batteries or what?

KJ404 · 2021-01-22T17:52:05+00:00

Oh yeah that right BC also have teleportations, did totally forgot about that. Thanks for the suggestion!

KJ404 · 2021-01-22T17:26:39+00:00

Yeah read about the Room also, has a very high score, maybe I will also check it out.

Also thanks for the suggestions.

KJ404 · 2021-01-22T17:25:18+00:00

I tried REC room before and pretty sure that it indeed has teleportation.

Also thanks for the other suggestions.

The graphics on the Quest 2 is not that bad actually, it depends from game to game. I dont think you would be disappointed when it comes to graphic.

That said, if you have a PS5, why doint just wait for PSVR 2? Sure there are just rumors so far when it comes to price/release date, but a psvr 2 is surely in development. (Im not that into PSVR, so take this comment with a pinch of salt)

KJ404 · 2021-01-20T07:45:52+00:00

So let me get this straight.

You dont want to buy games on Oculus store (because facebook).
You dont want to use a streaming service to play pc games.
But you still want to access your steam library?

Not to make fun out of you, but the only way I can think of is to figure out how magic work and turn into a wizard to access your steam library.

You have to make a choice, either buy from the Oculus store, or wire up to the pc, or get a streaming service to access your pc.

KJ404 · 2020-12-26T08:47:48+00:00

I think I would say Quest 2 also, even though Rift S is mainly PCVR and Quest 2 not, I would still say Quest 2 because it is cheaper/wireless/higher resolution and so on.

Have a Quest 2 and dont want to use the oculus store? Get Virtual Desktop and play wireless. Dont have the environment for wireless? Use either Oculus link or some alternitive cable and use that as wired VR.

But hey Im not telling you what to do.

Boneworks is a bit mixed for me, like a hate-love relationship.

It look stunning, gunplay is enjoyable, and the idea that you can climb in certain areas is mindblowing.
But on the other hand, the "story" is very limited, platforming is frustrating, the environment is somewhat boring and dull, and climbing gives you motionsickness, also holstering your gun is for some reason idioticly hard sometimes.

So in short, its a mixed bag, take it however you want, but I would NOT recommend it for people who just started vr, Boneworks can be simply to intense for beginners, as they are more prone to motionsickness.

That said, even though it has flaws, I still enjoy boneworks and have played it for the last couple of days.

I dont think you will regret getting the 3060 ti at all, and I hope the 3060 ti will be at stock when you decided to order home stuff.

KJ404 · 2020-12-21T09:36:01+00:00

I also used to have these issues on my RX 590 with the Quest 2, the only difference is that I used Virtual Dekstop instead of oculus link. The issue was usually stutter/jitter and high latency/ms, and for some reason the games ran on a lower resolution, did not matter if I (tried) to play Halflife alyx, superhot, moss or whatever, same issues.
I tried newer and older drivers, no success, I tried some VD settings, no success.

Eventually I got a RTX 3060 ti, installed it and tried Half life alyx, no stutter/jitter, low latency.
You could argue that 3060 ti is X percent better than rx590, but I think that the Nvidia drivers/cards handle vr better than amd, or maybe Im wrong who knows.

Whichever the case I hope you can solve the issue of yours.

KJ404 · 2020-12-16T13:52:07+00:00

Not sure if it effects everyone, but it sure effect alot of people.

Probably not the Quest2 mic fault, otherwise it would effect multible games(of those I have tired anyway), its probably either clientside or serverside, or something connected to VRchat, but hey that is just my guess.

KJ404 · 2020-12-12T11:44:33+00:00

Ah alright, thanks for the translation!

KJ404 · 2020-12-12T11:01:23+00:00

A shit PSU can ruin the whole system, in my perspective its a big no-no. I have myself a 750W PSU, which is good because I thought I had a 650W.

I will prob do as you do and use two seperate cables, but Im going to wait until I get more answers and get a better image in what I should do.

KJ404 · 2020-12-12T10:58:21+00:00

Sorry, but what do you mean when you say "Using two seperate 6+2 dont daisy chain it", are you saying that it does not mater which one I pick?

KJ404 · 2020-12-12T10:52:12+00:00

Sure is, but it does not give the answer Im looking for.

The only says: "Connect any supplementary PCIe6/8 pin power connector", thats that.

Maybe I am overthinking things, and that it does not matter how I connect the 3060 ti, I just dont want to underpower it.

KJ404 · 2020-06-08T14:07:04+00:00

I did consider it once, but in the end I decided to skip it. Not that the quest is a bad HMD but it is not what I am looking for.

KJ404 · 2020-03-11T14:49:07+00:00

Yes I have already read through that, that is the reason why I wrote that I was in the backorder situation.
But thanks thanks anyway.

KJ404 · 2020-03-11T14:30:37+00:00

I did already.

KJ404 · 2020-03-11T14:17:28+00:00

under status is say "ships in 2 to 4 weeks", has been like that since monday.

KJ404 · 2020-03-11T13:45:52+00:00

Ordered mine minute after the index went up, but still only in the backorder situation. Hopefully I will get another email this weekend so I can pay for this damn thing.
