How to Run Steam Games on Linux OS
Valve has dedicated years to improving Linux as an operating system for Steam, and it has achieved significant success. Linux is the default OS for the Steam Deck, and it can smoothly run non-native games using the Proton compatibility layer. If you’re using a Linux PC, you can also get Steam on it. However, the process of installing Steam may vary in complexity depending on the Linux distribution you’re using.
Typically, the most reliable way to install Steam is either through Valve’s official installation software or by using a repository. While there are app stores like Snap and Flathub that offer Steam installations, it’s worth noting that, at the time of writing, using these methods can lead to various glitches and, in some cases, render Steam unusable. Therefore, we’ll guide you through the traditional installation method. Don’t worry; you’ll only need to do this once, and you won’t have to manually install updates in the future.
