I have Steam installed on my laptop, but I often struggle with installations. My laptop doesn't perform well, so I'm curious if there's a significant advantage to properly installing programs on Linux versus just downloading them from Steam. Is it worth the trouble, or are there benefits to one method over the other?

Definitely try the official repository for your distro first! If the app works well there, it'll likely be more stable than using a Steam version. As for your issues, it sounds like you're running into common beginner problems—don't get discouraged! What kind of issues are you facing exactly?
Most Linux programs on Steam are available as native versions, but sometimes you'll find only Windows versions, which require Proton to run. If it's available natively, that can offer a better performance experience.
