Hi guys. I have here two or three Linux machines with 8 gb ram i use for other things, and thinking in run OMEGA accounts there, one in each machine via Steam. As far i know is easy when the account is created with steam.

My doubt is … ? how is the register process in steam ? interested mainly in the 1m referrer skillpoints, train three characters to 5m points in alpha, and in six months trasnfer a big character with plex for one or two years.

Any advice is welcome.

I posted about this some time ago. Steam on linux works almost the same as steam on windows. I’ll find it for you.

It works on other distributions also, however Pop\_OS! is the easiest environment in which functional parity with OSX and Windows can be achieved, kinda. What you will need I used Ventoy [Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html) to turn a 8GB USB into a storage device that can both hold ISO files and make them bootable without needing to dedicate the entire device or burn a ISO9660 physical medium.

This bit in particular.

you need to run the launcher with this as an argument in the same wine prefix as an already running launcher in order for an account to ‘load’

That does not impact the ‘referrer’ bonus SP as far as I know though.

Before my post, I think most people were just creating a username for their steam account and logging on with the launcher directly.
