Steam Installation

With Fedora 38 there is an issue where Steam installed from Flathub will not start. This issue is being tracked on the Fedora Discussion page
This will require enabling an external repository.
If you enabled "Third Party Software" at installation you can skip to installing Steam.

Open Software under the Activities in the top left corner.
