First up, you gotta know not all Chromebooks can handle the heat of Steam, so check if yours has the muscle for it! If it does, jump into your Chromebook’s settings and turn on Linux (Beta). After that, pop open the Terminal, and type in those magical words:

```sudo apt update && sudo apt install steam```

Hit enter, install Steam, and boom, you're ready to dive into your game library!

For Chromebooks that support Android apps, an even easier path exists. Just head over to the Google Play Store, search for the Steam Link app, download it, and you're good to go! This way, you can stream your Steam games from your computer directly to your Chromebook. No heavy lifting required.
