Steam and MultiLib download commands for Debian (Non-Free) repository
curaga:
The primary use of multilib is Steam games. For that other distros would be better, for many reasons.

Hi Rich and others
My first response was because I thought I understood the compile and notes from Juanito in the 11x repo. I tend to build mainly corepure64 and any others are "any arch"
But your steamcommunity link discussing graphics drivers has scared me off ....so I am now withdrawing my offer.
The building of AMD video drivers for 32lib to allow me to test anything then build the other video drivers support which I am not prepared to go to.
Voidlinux link and comment
I have used voidlinux which I regard as the fastest non-systemd usb boot up I have experienced in recent years. its init is runit and is really easy to work with unlike systemd
Also voidlinux is a rolling release so potential users are going to get the most recent software. A good reason to consider for steam users no? I have a unwritten agreement with Juanito that I would only update once per final release unless there is a significant security update. Again, a good reason for members wanting steam to consider going to a rolling release where they can expect multiple updates within one year instead of 1 per year.
thanks for reading

Not just for steam, but many linux native games are multilib.
I particularly think multilib is a bad thing, there have even been many discussions on Steam's linux client about a pure 64-bit client, but they refuse for compatibility reasons. Provide 64-bit Steam client (so we do not have to multi-arch just for Steam ...)

I'm sure it would be much easier to go directly to Windows if the reason for migrating to another distribution is compatibility and troubleshooting issues. Windows is effectively superior to Linux in terms of Hardware & Software support, losing only in terms of privacy and invasion.

this made me wander how much *easyer* it might be to add-to / adapt / modify dcore for multilib ?
or if any one has all ready attempted to do so !
CardealRusso:
I tried my best to replicate multilib for tinycore 14.x but got filtered through glibc mazes. Perhaps Juanito can continue from here? That's halfway there and certainly only possible with an experienced user.
