How to install steam in Linux (Elementary OS - Ubuntu)

Gaming in Linux has limited capabilities. not all games can be played on Linux unfortunately. 

so, here is how to install steam on ubuntu (without wine):- 

1	Go to steam website   https://store.steampowered.com/about/
2	Click on install steam
3	Steam installer file will be downloaded. In this case, I use ubuntu based OS. So the installer is in .deb format.  Take note of the location
4	Open your terminal, go to that location  # cd /home/<username>/Downloads
5	Run the steam installer using dpkg  # dpkg -I steam_latest.deb
6	Wait for the command to run.
7	Check your steam on application list. Click on it.
8	Package install promt will comeout, put your PC password.
9	Type Y. and enter. Wait for it to finish
10	Steam is now updating
11	Enjoy!

After login in and updating, i tried several games that i have in my library. 

to check wheter u can played it or not, the installation button will comeout. just click on that and the game will installed. 

Here is factorio running on linux. so, if you are asking whether factorio can runs on Linux? of course it can! 

I encounter few stutter when playing factorio in linux. after installing the graphic card driver, the game is smooth as I played it on windows PC. 

another games that I played in Linux is Dota 2. 

same simple steps, install steam > click on install > play!. 

there is bugs here and there, also the graphic is not so good. try your best to update your graphic driver, and it should be fine. 

I guess thats all about native steam installation in linux. comment below if you have suggestion/question.
