Nobody tell this user about Linux Mint or Ubuntu, okay? We’re saving it for the surprise party.

Joking aside, I understand wanting a company like Valve to directly provide strong support.

I also think that’s why it won’t happen, though. I think it is just too far outside of Valve’s core business. Valve does commit to other projects, here and there, to help Steam succeed on Linux. I doubt they’ll go beyond that, at least until the Steam Machine releases.

In the mean time, the closest option I can think of is buying a PC with Linux pre-installed, from System76 or Tuxedo, and then just search up “Steam” in the software center.
