So, someone correct me, but I had to move off Debian because the nvidia drivers would crash every. Single. Kernal update. So, I thought, no problem, I'll install from the repository like a good person. Nope. Nope. They were 40 versions behind.

it is really simple, install the flatpak version or the in repository (non free) steam installer, or just downloas the deb from the official steam website
