Description-en: Installer for Valve's Steam digital software delivery system
Steam (https://www.steampowered.com) is a software content delivery system
developed by Valve software (https://www.valvesoftware.com). There is
some free software available, but for the most part the content delivered
is non-free.
.
This package enables Steam to be easily installed via an appstream client
on non-i386 systems as long as the i386 foreign architecture is configured.
This is the default on Ubuntu, but on Debian, you may need to run as root:
dpkg --add-architecture i386; apt update
.
This package is not needed if you only want to install Steam directly with
apt or with a non-appstream client like Synaptic.
