I'm trying to set up Steam on Debian Testing, which is the only version that works well with my 9070 XT GPU. After running the command `sudo apt install steam`, the installation seemed successful. However, when I launch Steam, I get a prompt to install several additional packages like `libc6`, `libegl1`, and others. Unfortunately, it throws up a lot of errors regarding unmet dependencies and tells me that it can't install certain packages. Is there any way to resolve these installation issues?

Another option is to download the installer directly from the official Steam repository. Here’s the link to the .deb file: [steam_latest.deb](https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/stable/steam_latest.deb). Give that a shot!
It looks like the packages failing to install are 32-bit ones. Your Debian setup might not be allowing 32-bit packages by default. You could try running `sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386` to enable them on your system. Might help to include that architecture for compatibility!
Have you tried running `sudo apt --fix-broken install`? That might help resolve the dependency issues by trying to fix broken packages.
I attempted that command already, and it didn't make a difference.
I did that, but it still didn't solve the problem. Even rebooted and everything.
