Make Fedora look like Unbuntu ...
 

Good afternoon,

I am running Fedora 33. I have installed Steam to play a specific game, unfortunately that game will only play on Ubuntu with Unity, Gnome or KDE desktop. Replacing my current OS is not an option. I am wondering if there is a way to install Ubuntu and then run it in a it's own window within Fedora?

Thank you for any help.

Yes, you can, say, install Ubuntu in a Docker, but that's probably not the best setup for gaming.

It is extremely unlikely that any game would only play on "Ubuntu". Name the game.

The game is WGT and the error is 'An error occurred while updating WGT Golf (invalid platform)'.

that means the game detected your OS and did not like it

What version of Steam client? RPM Fusion Nonfree for Fedora 33 currently provides 1.0.0.66, while RPM fusion Nonfree Updates — 1.0.0.73. The flatpak is currently at 1.0.0.72. I don't say updating Steam will help you, but you may try. There's a flatpak for Athenaeum as well.

WGT Golf is listed in the ProtonDB. Have you enabled Proton in the Steam client settings?

Thanks for the tip. I have enabled proton 6.3, but everytime I launch there is the dreaded "invalid app configuration" error. I get the same error when trying to launch WGT. I have been looking for solutions, but have not yet had one that worked.
