How to install Steam on Fedora

Installing Steam on Fedora

These instructions are currently for Fedora 30. I'll update them over the releases if anything changes.

Open Software

Press the Win/Super key, type software and press Enter.

Enable the Third party and Steam repositories

Click the Menu Button (☰) and choose Software Repositories. Now enable "Third Party Software" and "RPM Fusion ... Steam"

Open a terminal

Press the Win/Super key, type terminal and press Enter.

Make sure your system is up to date

sudo dnf update --refresh

Also it doesn't hurt to reboot to make sure you're on the latest linux kernel.

Install the steam package

sudo dnf install steam -y

Open steam

You can either open it from Activities or press the Win/Super key, type steam and press Enter.

Accept the agreement and it'll download the latest version of Steam.

Any problems?

Feel free to comment below.
