As the title says, I just installed Ubuntu 16.10 alongside windows 8. When I run steam normally, I don't get a popup. In system monitor there is a process for each steam I open, but nothing happens. When I launch steam through terminal, I get

STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
/bin/bash: /home/ben/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5: no version information available 
(required by /bin/bash)

I am able to run Windows games such as Super Hexagon through Wine, but I was told that Wine uses my windows graphics drivers. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon 8610g.

Edit: When I run sudo ubuntu-drivers devices, I get the following: driver : amd64-microcode - distro non-free

  • Wine doesn't use anything that's not in the system already. Dual boot or single OS is irrelevant, It won't use any Windows drivers. And the question or problem exactly? Those messages in terminal are... normal. Currently there are no alternative proprietary drivers rom that can be installed with the newer kernels. That's it, you already have a driver installed and running the best it can. Nothing else to do, move on. –  Oct 21 '16 at 23:44
  • What would be the ubuntu version I'd have to install? – Phoen1x74 Oct 22 '16 at 00:07
  • Sorry, what? You started by saying I just installed Ubuntu 16.10. That's the current version... –  Oct 22 '16 at 00:12
