"Have you tried running it with wine?"
"Didn't work? Oh it's super easy, just run this (insert small novel here) in terminal!"
"Oh I know what that error is, you are just missing repositoties, run (insert medium novel here) and you are good to go".
"Still not working? You are running Debian right? Oh, Ubuntu? Uninstall it and install Arch"
"Did you redo the steps I mentioned before and it's still not working? What gpu do you have? Shit, you should have said you have an AMD card, that changes everything. Go buy an Nvidia card, AMD drivers are shit on Linux".
"That's so cool that you bought an Nvidia card! Welcome to the Linux gaming elite. Those idiots who use Windows are practically asking for headaches, Linux is so easy"
"Ok rerun all of those commands again. Did it work? Yes? Hells yeah bro. Now that we finally got steam installed, let's get the drivers installed".
"Yeah those games don't work in Linux"
"Have you tried running it with wine?"
I'll just stick with windows and use good practices to secure my machine.
You also forgot the fact that depending on the drivers you need to use for your Linux distro for various functions of the GPU, you may not be able to install steam at all...
