The Steam summer sale starts next week

Getting Steam up and running on MX Linux 18.3 for native games and Valve's fork of WINE (Proton) is pretty painless. Valve has been pushing development of Steam on GNU/Linux through the Proton compatibility layer and AMD Radeon drivers getting better and better. The Radeon driver for my RX 560 works right out of the box. MX Linux ships its own Steam executable, easily found and installed via the Software Center. MX Linux is only a Semi-Rolling release distro, but it has very fresh software.

The Steam summer sale tends to offer some very good deals. There are many games, DLC packs, plus franchise and studio bundles.
