OK Thanks for that, at least there is a deb file, and I suppose your software will tell whoever installs if there's an update. Any Chance with Steam Support using letters and numbers. At the moment on Kubuntu it's steamguard.

@thomasrich007 I got to disagree strongly.
@Levminer Please do NOT waste your time with Flatpak or other inferior package providers. I see a lot of arguments made against Snap but have to disagree, its the cleanest and "only" true solution for having a system/user separated installation at the moment with offering true sandboxing and not being prone to out-of-date dependencies like Flatpak is.
Flatpaks clutters /var/ whith Package Files which is unacceptable, as well as it got read-write priviliges in ~/ (home) and can set its own Folders which again is unacceptable. This becomes extra annoying whenever you uninstall packages and need to purge files manually due to MANY! leftovers in /var/ and unknow /home directories, while Snap stays within its /home/USER/.snap directory and therefor is easy to identify, backup and migrate.

Also Flatpak has huge security issues.
Check https://flatkill.org/ for security vulnerabilities and the falsely claimed sandboxing feature.

IMO many packages go the route to disregard Snap and claim Flatpak is better, while its actually worse.

Another benefit of Snapcraft is, that it bridges the gap succesfully for Linux on Phone which becomes more and more important these days.
