- Steam is working with this guide! It has been a really hard to get this working hope this lasts!
- All works under the standard debian penguin! Not yet tested via ubuntu lxc container. 08/12/2023.
- If anyone finds an better way to install it please be my guest and share!
- A more updated follow-up will continue here: https://community.fydeos.io/t/topic/25188/1
Follow the process step by step this aint rocket science here.
First we need to install some dependencies that are required by Steam. Use the following lines for indulgency:
Find your DRK version here - https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86/blob/master/docs/COMPILE.md
Find updated dependencies here - https://github.com/neofeo/BOX86-BOX64-WINEx86-TUTORIAL

There also seems to be a long-standing bug right now with binfmt-support on Debian. The working solution of both the box86.conf and box64.conf files to put in /usr/share/binfmts/.
This hack is what makes Steam possible on ChromiumOS on aarch64!
sudo nano /usr/share/binfmts/box86.conf
package box86
interpreter /usr/local/bin/box86
magic \x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x03\x00
mask \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff
sudo nano /usr/share/binfmts/box64.conf
package box64
interpreter /usr/local/bin/box64
magic \x7fELF\x02\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x3e\x00
mask \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff
After copying the contents of these files into their respective directories, you can run the following commands to import them and verify that they are functioning correctly:
Exit termina with sudo poweroff
Go to Crosh > shell : vmc container termina penguin --privileged true
sudo update-binfmts --import box86.conf
sudo update-binfmts --import box64.conf
sudo update-binfmts --enable
sudo update-binfmts --display
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt
Output must say enabled in all 3 otherwise restart the container: sudo poweroff.

Run Games with launch options: -force-opengl and set a stable proton
-soft
-gl -nofbo
-soft -sw -w 640 -h 480
-gl
-dev -sw
For all games set settings to -force-opengl and maybe install proton experimental like always… after installing steam perform a steam restart bugs may follow and retry is key keep this in mind.

- Troubleshooting fix solutions and more problems than solutions:
Reinstall Steam » rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/
Shutdown Steam » systemctl --user restart sommelier{,-x}@{0,1}.service
sudo poweroff » does the trick too
lspci: not found - sudo apt install pciutils -y; sudo apt show pciutils
Can’t find ‘steam-runtime-check-requirements’ It means most likely that your binfmts isnt enabled this is a must have!
For some sanity: sudo apt install gnome-system-monitor -y ; gnome-system-monitor
Problem without solution plz Help!
steam-runtime-launcher-service keeps crashing on startup, disabling
Some stupid interface glitch that I couldnt yet figure… but it starts ocasionally - most likely is kernel panfrost drivers missing repositories… best to re-do the whole guide.
systemctl --user restart cros-garcon.service
systemctl --user restart sommelier{,-x}@{0,1}.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload

Manually Installing Steam by Script (Nice alternative - just avoid)
Lets make our ~/box86/install_steam.sh script
sudo nano install_steam.sh
#!/bin/bash
# create necessary directories
mkdir -p ~/steam; mkdir -p ~/steam/tmp; cd ~/steam/tmp
# download latest deb and unpack
wget https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/client/installer/steam.deb; ar x steam.deb; tar xf data.tar.xz; rm ./*.tar.xz ./steam.deb; mv ./usr/* ../; cd ../ && rm -rf ./tmp/
echo "#!/bin/bash
export STEAMOS=1; export STEAM_RUNTIME=1; export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0
~/steam/bin/steam $@"> steam
# make script executable and move
chmod +x steam; sudo mv steam /usr/local/bin/
/bin/bash ./install_steam.sh
