Installing Steam on Linux is pretty straightforward! Most popular Linux distros come with Steam in their software repositories. For Ubuntu, you can simply open up a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install steam' and hit Enter. You'll be prompted to enter your password, then just follow the on-screen instructions. If you're using another distro like Fedora, you might use a different package manager like 'dnf' instead of 'apt-get'. Just replace 'apt-get' with 'dnf' in the command.

Just go to the Steam website, download the .deb (or .rpm, depending on your distro) file, and double-click it. Your package manager should take it from there!

Honestly, just use Windows.

I switched to Linux full-time last year and installing Steam was a breeze. I used the .deb file from Steam's official site because the version in my distro's repository wasn't the latest. Worked like a charm!
