Would KSP x64Bit work on SteamOS?

[One-Way Films]

SteamOS is a branch off of the Linux's Main-Build, right? Would it/Will it work? I was thinking of getting another Harddrive to house Linux for KSP64Bit.

SteamOS is Valves version of Debian, which Ubuntu is also based on, so KSP should work fine as long as you install appropriate graphics drivers.

Unity officially supports Ubuntu, and that OS comes with lots of non-free software to make it easier for people to use, Debian doesn't come with this software by default, but as with any Linux distribution if you want to install it you can (with varying degrees of work)

Would KSP x64bit work on it though? Thanks for answering so fast, by the way

The answer was right in sal_vager's post:

Bolded for emphasis. If YOU install the proper graphics drivers and everything necessary for KSP to run, it should run fine. It should be no different than running KSP x64 on Ubuntu.

I expect so. I've not checked but I assume SteamOS is 64-bit. You may have to edit the launch options in Steam to make it run the 64 bit ksp though, set them as %command%_64
