If you need instructions for another Linux distribution, let me know in the comments—I’ll do my best to create a guide for you!

While Linux gaming has come a long way, not all Windows games are natively supported. Fortunately, Steam offers a wide selection of Linux-compatible titles. Below, I’ll show you how to install Steam on Ubuntu without relying on Wine

Go to steam website

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

Open your terminal, go to that location 

# cd /home/<username>/Downloads

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.

Package install promt will comeout, put your PC password.

Type Y. and enter. Wait for it to finish 

10 
Steam is now updating

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

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.
