Changing wine hostname for Steam family sharing
Arehandoro Jun 4, 2017
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this so apologies in advance if it isn't.

Is it possible to change the hostname of a prefix on wine? If possible, has someone tried to do it? I have tried (via registry) but won't seem to work, always revert the name back to my host.

The goal of this was to see whether it's possible to enable family sharing, I guess Steam would see it as a different PC and then both clients be enabled at the same time? Could be a nice way to have non-Linux games on the native client and even launch them via the Steam Link (Because somehow the wineSteam won't stream to it)

Hope this makes some sort of sense at all xD

Thanks!
