Also include the Ubuntu release/version and how did you installed Steam.

The easiest way to put complete input and output into your question is to highlight it in your terminal, then copy (not screenshot), then paste into your question. If you understand Markdown, then use it to correct the formatting. The current jumble of random unformatted output is both hard to read and lacks the usual details that we need to help you. Also, the tags you have chosen suggests that your question still seems to lack the complete sequence of commands that you used. We are not clairvoyant.

I couldn't install Steam via `apt` either. Try installing it via `flatpak`.

Hmmm. I'm both impressed and puzzled. Installing some distro over (or alongside) Chrome OS is an impressive achievement. It requires skill and patience. So it's puzzling that, though you are skilled and patient, you cannot explain what distro or version you installed nor provide the information we need to help you.

Run this command to install the packages:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:i386 steam-libs-amd64:amd64 steam-libs-i386:i386 xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

An improvement would be to run this simulated installation command: `apt install --simulate libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:i386 steam-libs-amd64:amd64 steam-libs-i386:i386 xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk` first (without `sudo`) to check for errors.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
