I made my PC work by pressing the power button. Linux devs made it work by writing and releasing Linux and countless utilities and applications. Let’s call it a draw.
Not quite. You need to try 3 different howtos that fail. You need to realize that the broken dependecies won’t get fixed even it’s about the current time64_t effort that is going on. It’s because the howto is simply crap. Then you find one that you haven’t tried, yet.
Then it’s easy: add the official steam apt repository, get the signing key and apt-install steam package with some few dependencies.
this is why i use debian for work/servers where i need reliability anfd slow paced stable software and fedora at home where the odd bug or faulty update (which rarely happens) don’t bother me that much. debian is awesome though

Ahem… thanks to me.
I recently made Steam run on my Debian PC.
Win10 has one more year and I need to make preparations. Now I’m ready to ditch it to have more space for games.
Made? Steam runs natively on Linux.

“Made work” = click install
