Running Steam on an Orange Pi 5 Plus: A Ludicrously Neat Experiment
2025-03-23

The author details a six-step process for installing Steam on an Orange Pi 5 Plus, involving Armbian installation, adding Box86/64 repositories, installing dependencies, and further configuration. While successful, performance is inconsistent, with most tested games running at 720p and barely exceeding 30 FPS. The author concludes it's more a fun technical challenge than a practical gaming solution, although future improvements from Collabora and Valve's ARM initiatives might change that.
