Or:
Software has a Linux version and it only comes as a .deb
Depends on a load of packages exclusive to Ubuntu and installing it on stock Debian is bloody impossible
Yeah I remember when Steam came to Linux. Never got it to work. I hope it is better nowadays? (Sadly can't check. My only pure Linux box at the moment is a Raspberry Pi, I don't expect Steam to run on that either)
Steam works fine for me. On Gentoo.
You can get Steam on just about any distro, for years at this point. And there's always Flatpak for these cases too although for Steam I recommend native packages.
?!? I'm not sure to understand this post? I will only install stuff that are .deb, not big image or snap or whatever?!?
What's the problem with deb when you are using debian based distro? Else you can easily extract the content and cp it in place
but what about people that are not on debian or debian based distros... like me?
