It is finally time for the ToastyBros to try out Ubuntu again after many many years! This time we’re going extra small with the Raspberry Pi 5 and we’re attempting to game on the full setup! This includes a computer, monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse. This setup was just under $300 to put together. Supposedly the Raspberry Pi 5 is over 100% stronger than the previous generation.
......Instructions.....
Install Ubuntu 23.10 Desktop which supports Steam (with mods), Minecraft, and Raspberry Pi 5. Proton install can also help with steam and other windows apps. You may try "Pi-Apps" to avoid the need for all the command lines in order to get steam working!

Notes about games and compatibilities
Generally difficult to set up, however the guide helps a lot. Not something I would recommend for absolute beginners. Steam wigs out when launching and while the Store/Library loads (lots of seizure fun). Steam also VERY laggy. Some of the games I attempted to use compatibility with Proton, which had mixed results, but the games that don't mention it I didn't test it.Unable to get controller working on pretty much any game except for the ones noted.Axiom Verge - Controller works (DS4)
Runs well, some stutters occasionally. Very playable so far.Celeste
Won't launch, throws errors. Ran in compatibility for proton experimental, launches and runs - controller not working.Left 4 Dead 2
Runs, crashes after loading. Ran in compatibility for proton experimental, won't launch at all.Undertale
Launches, runs well.Unturned
Launches, crashes wile on loading screen. Using compatibility mode for Proton allows it to launch with "No Anti-Cheat" option, but remains a black screen with visible cursor. After a few minutes the cursor disappears and get "steam_app_304930" is not responding. Choosing the "wait" option goes back to the black screen, then completely crashes the RPI.Terraria
Launches. Even on 800x600 the game is very sluggish. Turning on frame skip and turning everything to the lowest settings makes it a little smoother. Very unenjoyable.Vampire Survivors
Launches. Game sluggish on the lowest settings.Valheim
Game will not launch using OpenGL
Launches in regular mode, freezes on "Valheim" screen and locked up entire RPI.
Attempted compatibility mode for proton, doesn't run on normal startup, tried with Vulkan, doesn't run.TF2
Will not launch.Stardew Valley - Controller works (DS4)
Launches after a long loading time. Hit "Stardew stopped responding." Didn't do anything and it finished loading. Runs well after the initial slow loading.TMNT: Shredder's Revenge - Controller works (DS4)
When trying to launch, got error that Steam stopped responding. After a moment it finally freed up and launched. Need to run in Exclusive Fullscreen for FS to work. Otherwise you can play in windowed mode. Runs okay, probably a little slower than I'd like; but I was playing on a very difficult level. Seemed to run well though.Star Wars: KOTOR II
Launches. Some issues with textures entering an exiting reality. Lots of character models heads vanish but the eyes and mouth stay behind. Shockingly, lowering the settings to low and turning off all visual "improvements" actually makes the game not very responsive.Salt and Sanctuary
Launches right away. Very sluggish gameplay. Due to the nature of this game, I would highly recommend not playing it.
Half Life Source - Launches and Plays but is unplayable due to lag 720P
Hotline Miami - Launched and Plays really well
Minecraft Java Edition with Pi Apps works great
*We did notice that one command is a little messed up on the instructions for Box86 and Box64, but it just needs to be swapped around. Instead of the command "make -j4 sudo make install" it should actually be "sudo make -j4 install"
