I just set up my old computer with some new parts today and got it up and running. no old windows key so I used a friends USB drive to put Ubuntu on here hoping to just be able to use my computer until I find the money to get windows and I'm running into the issue of download steam. Originally I downloaded it through steampowered.com like any old person would...then when that didnt work my friend refrenced me some commands in the terminal and when those didnt work i watched a video about installing steam installer through Ubuntu Software and thats where I'm at...

my set up consists of...

GPU: GTX 960 4GB ?(Gallium 0.4 on NV126)?
CPU: Ryzen 3 1200
RAM: 8GB 2133mhz
MOBO: MSI Tomahawk B350
64 bit OS

When launching steam through the terminal this is the process it goes through.

:~$ steam

First Run the following command to uninstall steam :
