First off, you gotta make sure your Chromebook supports Linux (Beta) cause that's the base camp for this mission. Turn on that Linux (Beta) in your Chromebook settings. Then, open up the Terminal and enter 'echo 'deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list'. This line's telling your Chromebook where to find Steam. Next step, update your system with 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get install steam'. Follow the prompts, let the magic happen, and bam, Steam's ready to roll!

Just use the Steam Link app, guys. No need to mess around with Linux if all you wanna do is stream your games from your main PC.

Honestly, it's easier than it sounds. Did this on my old Chromebook and it worked like a charm. Just follow the steps carefully, especially the commands in the Terminal. Also, remember that not all Chromebooks have the muscle to run the more demanding games on Steam, so manage those expectations.
