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 steamor, 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-recordYou 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 steamor
# 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
