Does Hacknet run on Linux?
Verdict: Yes
Yes. Hacknet has its own Linux version on Steam, so it installs and plays like any other Linux game.
Hacknet is an indie simulation game from Team Fractal Alligator, published by Fellow Traveller, first released on 12 August 2015.
It is a game for one player. Critics scored it 82 out of 100 on Metacritic.
The evidence
- Its own Linux version
- Yes, on Steam
- Player rating on ProtonDB
- Platinum, from 37 reports
- Steam Deck (which runs Linux)
- Marked unsupported by Valve
- Anti-cheat
- None listed
How to play it
- Install Steam from your Linux app store and sign in. Your library is already there.
- Install Hacknet and press Play.
Valve marks this game unsupported on the Steam Deck. That rating is about the handheld, and can be down to its screen, controls or power, so it does not by itself mean the game fails on a desktop PC. Check the recent ProtonDB reports before buying.
