The closest I can get to is Stream and it was there but now it's not anymore when this is my second time installing Steam because I shut down the virtual machine first time and started all over again. Also when I try to download .deb files like steam_latest.deb I get this error
GDBus.Errorrg.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._pk_5ftransaction_5ferror.Code4: SimulateInstallFiles not supported by backend

And when I try to install Steam by terminal I get this error

root@kali:~# sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb

But I did manage to install Steam in my Kali Linux 32 bit but don't I need to edit and add something to the sourcelist for it to actually work or run?

Now I've seen it all... you're trying to use Kali for gaming ??

You seriously NEED to read their website;

From https://docs.kali.org/introduction/s...use-kali-linux

Are you for real ?

I'm not giving up though because Kali Linux 32 bit can also be used for hacking.

It's ONLY for hacking and NOTHING else, full stop, period. Please have a look at this and select a far more SUITABLE distro.

EDIT: Your dupe of this thread here, has been reported.

But I really wanna play two games at once though in tf2.

Any user is free to try to use Kali for their own purposes.

Meanwhile, as stated, the intentions of Kali are very clear to be that it is for experienced users performing penetration testing only.

My experience is that there are very few LQ members who can help with Kali questions, and fewer of those who can help with questions about Kali that do not match the intentions of the distribution.

I would tend to recommend questions be posed to the authors of Kali, directly on their site, however I suspect that installing unintended additional software to Kali would not be something they may have answers for either. It might be worth a try, http://forums.kali.org/.

Please do not create duplicate questions in an attempt to encourage answers, this does not help on the LQ site.

Please try to avoid colorful text abbreviations in your thread titles.

Other LQ members please also avoid strong reactions and just try to clarify that there likely are few answers for this type of problem.

Meanwhile if someone has a potential solution, they are free to offer it.

Kind Regards.

Yes, and so can Windows, Mac, and ANY version of Linux. The only 'benefit' of Kali for network/security testing is that it comes with the tools loaded. The EXACT SAME TOOLS that can be loaded onto ANY current version of Linux. Pick one, and it can do exactly what Kali does.

So unless you are an experienced user, whose main focus is network security/pentesting, there is NO BENEFIT to using Kali at all. And how much 'hacking' do you do now, to benefit from these tools? You can use it, but you are doing nothing but making your life harder for no reason.

Try this: https://itsfoss.com/install-steam-ubuntu-linux/

Also my steam file came back and I edited it to remove the "cannot run root as user" and it got removed but when I try to open or run the steam application it doesn't do anything,it just won't run or open,I mean the agreement terms of service popped up and I clicked accept but after that,nothing came up.

Because in Kali the WHOLE system runs as root, please follow the link in my above post.

I don't wanna install Ubuntu Linux though because this guy said I should install Kali Linux 32 bit because it has all the hacking tools you need and he said u can then install games on it which for this case I want to install Steam to play two games at once for e.g. tf2.

Look anonytomy, we really WANT to help you, but if you're not going to listen, then it is VERY difficult to try and help you. Please understand that. As TB0ne quite correctly pointed out, you DO NOT NEED Kali to install and use the SAME hacking tools in ANY OTHER DISTRO. You do NOT have to use Ubuntu, you can use ANY OTHER DISTRO. You are only going to run into more problems using Kali Linux, and once again, Kali is NOT MEANT for playing games, it is meant for HACKING, period.

Please understand (as rtmistler pointed out) that, it is VERY unlikely that you will get much (if any) help with Kali Linux here. Kali once again runs as ROOT, and as you have found out (the hard way) the steam client WILL NOT WORK under such conditions and/or you WILL have serious problems trying to use steam on Kali Linux.

Beyond that, there is nothing more I can tell you. So best of luck with whatever you decide. I'm done with this thread.

Read the LQ Rules about text speak, and not using it, please.

And sorry, but your logic is VERY flawed here. You're saying that you're taking the advice of "this guy", but don't seem to want to listen to 'us guys' here. Why bother asking then? You should then refer back to the guy you spoke with before, and get their advice.

AGAIN: you can install the "hacking tools" on any version of Linux, THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT KALI, do you understand that??? And again, how much/often are you using these 'hacking tools' now?? How much are you going to miss them if they're not there?? And if you're an advanced Linux user, installing/compiling those tools should be VERY easy for you. Plus, you should then UNDERSTAND what you're doing is a bad idea.

We're telling you this, point blank. The Kali website says this; kali's documentation says this. But you're taking the advice of "this guy" instead??? Suit yourself...there is nothing further we can do to help you at this point. Good luck

Perhaps you should seek the assistance of the person who promoted these ideas to you with their statements. They have implied that they already have accomplished the feats you are trying to complete.

Meanwhile I feel the statement, "You should consider the source" is something you should evaluate here.

If you want to play games using Linux, then consider following the typical recommendations and typical distributions.

If you want to do penetration testing, then consider Kali or the tools Kali contains.

You seem to be trying to do both, have listened to a person who proclaims that both can be done. Have they done this? If so, it seems as if they'd be an excellent resource. If they don't seem to be willing to share how they accomplished this, then is their opinion beneficial to you?

@anonytomy

How long have you been running Linux? How much do you know about the inside of Linux? These questions are very very important when it comes to Kali.

Some advice:

* If you want to learn Kali, please do yourself a favor and learn Linux inside out first.

* Install a "civilian" distro. For example Debian(Kali is based directly on Debian), you will have NO problems getting help with such a distro.

* Take a course on security/pentesting, remember you don't jump into the middle of the ocean to learn how to swim It takes a lot of time and skill to become a penetration tester/hacker.

* Learn about the "Hacking Tools" not Kali.
