 In February 2013 [[https://store.steampowered.com/|Steam]] [[https://store.steampowered.com/linux|for Linux]] was released. Back then, "Steam for Linux" meant "Steam for Ubuntu". Installing and running it on Debian was not as hassle-free as it should be. But fortunately by now it is actually very easy. In February 2013 [[https://store.steampowered.com/|Steam]] [[https://store.steampowered.com/linux|for Linux]] was released.

-Just run ''apt install steam'' and you are good to go :-)+  - Add the i386 (32bit) architecture: <code>dpkg --add-architecture i386</code> 
 +  - Update the repos: <code>apt update</code> 
 +  - Install Steam: <code>apt install steam-installer</code> 
 + 
 +And you are good to go :-)

 +With [[https://www.protondb.com/|Proton]] enabled in Steam it is even possible to play Windows games on Linux. My current personal favourite game - [[https://www.satisfactorygame.com/|Satisfactory]] - is not even officially supported but (in Early Access) runs even more stable in an unsupported Linux environment than on Windows.
