I tried to install steam on Ubuntu 22.04 and I just see the snap version. Is it true that we cannot run sudo apt install steam anymore?

The day they started pushing snaps into APT and making it a pain to choose the non-snap version... I left Ubuntu. If I wanted to install the snap I would've used snap install not apt install

Yeah before I use Ubuntu. my first exposure on Linux is Linux Mint and it seems Linux Mint support secure boot atm. if this gets worst. I will go back to linux Mint again

Linux Mint is just Ubuntu but with no snaps and better optimized for desktop (as opposed to server) use

Or you can use Linux Mint Debian edition, which is basically the same, but with older (and better maintained IMO) packages from Debian instead of newer packages from Ubuntu.

For sure, LMDE is fantastic at this point. Best reason to take regular Mint over it is the built-in alternate desktop options.

Sorry I found it this is the best sudo add-apt-repository multiverse sudo apt install steam

valve always recommends native deb and my experience with deb is flawless so far
