I installed steam with the multilib repositories before discovering that artix has it's own set of repositories, the wiki says that artix's repos should always be selected over any equivalents in arch, will this be a problem? or should I enable the lib32 repository, and how do I get steam to switch to using that repository?
steam shloud works without our lib32 repo too... so don't worry
you probably read this https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Site/SteamAnd32bit
enable lib32 repo and do pacman -Syyu. Probably some libs will be replace, the rest will replace in next update...
if not....
1. uninstall all lib32 libs:
pacman -Rcs pacman -Rcs lib32-glibc lib32-dbus
2. remove all lib32-* from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
3. install steam again
pacman -S steam
if you use steam-native-runtime, install it again too
I enabled the lib32 repository and updated, things seem to have gone smoothly, thanks for the help, but I do have one more question, are there any advantages in using the artix repositories? The wiki says that they are structurally the same, just the names have to be different, what does this mean?
Advantages? No, we just replaced or removed systemd for Elogind. Artixlinux is about archlinux without systemd.... Nothing less, nothing more.
Alright, thanks 👍
