Can’t the dependencies just be installed with the steam client? Yes, it’s ridiculous that steam isn’t 64-bit, but I don’t see the huge problem programs with having 32-bit dependencies. Am I missing something?
Finding 32 bit libraries hasn’t been a problem with any package manager I’ve ever used in Linux for a long time. This isn’t a problem for any modern distribution.

Steam doesn’t have the 32-bit library files you need. Every system is different.

It’s not a problem for users, it is a problem for maintainers: https://www.howtogeek.com/fedora-44-will-not-lose-32-bit-software/
Nowadays there is basically no reason for mainstream distros to have to maintain 32-bit libraries and dependencies… Except steam.
