Steam is an application that can execute a variety of games
|
|
and even software, which can even execute Windows applications
|
|
without the need of Wine via the Steam tool Proton. This can
|
|
can be a replacement for Wine although some applications might
|
|
not work as expected. Most games are built for Windows but
|
|
most work just fine via Proton and Proton works both on regular
|
|
Linux distributions, including LFS without all the setup required
|
|
for Wine.

|
As Steam is a gaming application, it depends on many tools,
|
|
libraries, and graphics APIs to function and perform as it should.
|
|
Obvious among such software would be OpenGL, Vulkan, and graphics
|
|
drivers. Less obvious software includes audio and a window manager
|
|
or desktop environment.
