How to install Steam on Linux/Ubuntu

Question

I know literally nothing about linux/ubuntu, but I have linux activated and I downloaded it through steam. When I click on it to open it it gives me the message: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6 Could someone help?

Steam installation should be as easy as sudo apt update followed by sudo apt install steam . Please edit your question and tell us what you've been trying to do and please copy-paste the entire error(s) you're getting. Kindly format errors as code and retain all line breaks, so we can parse it. — Nmath, Sep 19 '20 at 05:49

Open a console or terminal and type:

sudo apt update
# enter your password when prompted
sudo apt install steam

After the installation, run steam from the start menu. It might ask you to install even more libraries.
