Welcome to the steam-snap wiki!

_{This Snap is not associated with Valve. For information regarding the official (deb) version of Steam, see Valve's repository here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux.}

Install Steam via a terminal with

snap install steam

or, via your Desktop Store.

Most Snap connections you need will be automatically connected for you. However, it is recommended (but not required) to connect system-observe and hardware-observe for better compatibility, and audio-record if you use any of Steam's voice chat or recording features. Run snap connections steam for more connection info.

# For Steam compatibility:
snap connect steam:system-observe
snap connect steam:hardware-observe
# For audio recording features:
snap connect steam:audio-record

You should consider disabling snapshotting when uninstalling Steam, as snapshots can be incredibly large and take a long time to create since they will contain your Steam library.

To uninstall, run either

# Completely removes Steam and its data, without creating a snapshot
snap remove --purge steam

or

# Disables snapshots for ALL snaps on your system, and then removes Steam (you can set this back to 744h after)
snap set system snapshots.automatic.retention=no
snap remove steam
