Will Steam work on Chromebook?
Steam on a Chromebook? Technically yes, but don't get your hopes up for a smooth gaming experience. Chromebooks weren't designed for heavy gaming, so even if you get Steam running via Linux, performance and game compatibility will be hit or miss.

Sure, Steam can work on some Chromebooks, but there's a catch. You need a Chromebook that supports Linux (Beta), since Steam doesn't natively run on Chrome OS. Once you enable Linux on your Chromebook and install Steam through Linux, you're good to go. Keep in mind, though, not all games will run smoothly because of the hardware limitations on most Chromebooks.
Good luck playing anything more demanding than 'Minesweeper' on that setup. Yes, you can get Steam running, but Chromebooks and gaming are like oil and water – they don't mix well.
