How the hell do you install Steam on Ubuntu? I thought I was a Linux certified PRO for running Arch Linux but did a test run of Ubunu the other day and it made me feel rather stupid. Couldn’t install via apt, couldn’t install Steam deb. Is snap the only way?

Anyways, currently on Fedora KDE spin.

    Steam Deb should be easy? Download deb, then do: sudo dpkg -i ./ Sometimes i do sudo apt install ./ I’ll be honest and say I don’t know what the difference is.

      I don’t know what the difference is

      Apt exists to unify commands that were previously different programs, so instead of having to remember apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg, etc. it can all be apt.

      In addition, apt has things like a progress bar for installation which is a nice feature, I’m sure it was available for apt-get, but apt has enabled it by default.
