Thank you to everyone in advance for your time.
I recently came into possession of an alienware steam machine (link to specs: http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-steam...am-machine) and have been trying to get the dolphin emulator to work on the Debian OS. The problem is that this is the first time I have ever used Linux and I am beyond hopelessly lost. I looked online for tutorials but all I could find were ones that were 3 years old and don't seem to work with the current version. After my four hours of frustration I have managed to set the initial UNIX password in the terminal and fail with a multitude of command prompts I have no way of understanding. This video seemed to get me the farthest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuB8YFD4tr4 which used this command prompt:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glennric/dolphin-emu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu
Which after a multitude of lines ended with a failure message like this:
Unable to locate package dolphin-emu
I hope someone can help give me some direction. Today was the first day I opened the desktop portion of the steam machine and I have nothing installed. I could really use someone to take me through the ropes as if I know nothing about Linux which I dont.
