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

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
