I like Debian, but if I wanted to play games it wouldn't be my first distro to choose.

https://distrochooser.de/ or similar might help to decide.

why have a boring ui with one billion choices when you can make them fight

You can game just fine on Debian, skill issue? And Debian will be around and doing great long after your vanity distro has disappeared.

First edit /etc/apt/sources.list to add contrib, if it's not already there.

Then:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update
apt install steam:i386

Are you from the anti Linux front for people without any chill? Because now I want to try Windows again.

Chill dude. Don't make a Distro your center of life.

[–] forbiddencherry@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

lol, you really took that seriously? You're the one who needs to chill.
