This is so relatable.

Using the official Valve repository is my preferred method because it provides a direct line to the developers, ensuring you get the latest GPG keys and installer updates immediately without waiting for them to make their way through the Debian maintainers. While the Debian repo is convenient, it requires you to enable contrib and non-free components globally across your entire system. The method I suggested adds Steam as a specific source without cluttering your main package list with other non-free software. This also makes the installation more consistent across different versions of Debian. Whether you are on Stable or Testing, you are not at the mercy of Debian’s specific package transitions or library freezes, which can occasionally break the Steam bootstrap process in the community-maintained version. I do not believe either way is better, just different for different types of users.

Give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money needing a lot now.

Here is how I install Steam on Debian:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  
sudo apt update  
sudo apt install curl  
curl -s http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/stable/steam.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg > /dev/null  
echo 'deb [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg] http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ stable steam' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam.list  
sudo apt update  
sudo apt install steam -y  

Edit: Added a fancy block.

Cinnamon is where it is at. Also, I am happy you found something you like. 👍

I believe the police violated his 4th Amendment rights by unlawfully searching his bag and I believe the police did not have probable cause to justify his arrest. He was also not read his miranda rights in a timely manner.

They can’t ban me, I already deleted my Reddit account. Also, Mangione is innocent.

Thank you for the great reply. I am not saying one way is better but coming from Debian that was very foreign to me. I have a lot of respect for Slackware and people who use it.

Here is what I don’t understand about Slackware. Why does the installer recommend on installing everything. Not just a few applications most people might need. It recommends everything. Of course you can do a more minimalist installation but the installer recommends against it. Every application possible.
