    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.

        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
