I am currently using Ubuntu 14.10. Steam is showing up in the Ubuntu Software Center, but when I click on it it says:
Not found
There isn't a software package called "steam" in your current software sources.
Is there a fix for this? Am I the only one having this problem?

Steam for Windows under WINE can be installed natively as a snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. This snap package downloads and installs Steam for Windows in WINE on Linux. To install Steam open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install steamforwindows --edge
The first setup takes a little while to download the necessary parts. Subsequent launches are faster.

The steam package is part of the "multiverse" repository for Ubuntu versios 14.04 onwards, but only for 32 bit versions of Ubuntu. If you want the 64-bit Steam package, you need to add the Steam repository to your sources.
32-bit Ubuntu
- enable the "multiverse" repository
- run
sudo apt-get update
- Install
steamusing eitherapt-getor the Software Center.
64-bit Ubuntu
- add the following line to
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ precise steam
- run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install steam-launcher
or
- install the
.debmanually from the official site.

works fine (still I don't know why steam seems not available on Software Center), however if the application does not appear in menu it is not necessary rebooting, just run

You will need to install the Steam package manually.
Go to http://store.steampowered.com/about/ and choose the "Install Steam now" link. This will download a debian package (ends in .deb) which you can open directly in the Ubuntu Software Center app. The "Install" button will then install Steam.
It appears it does not show up in the launchbar, but you can search for it (tap the Windows button) and launch it. When launched right-click on the icon to lock it to the launch bar.
You can then search for the Steam

I confirm that using
sudo apt-get install steam
works fine (still I don't know why steam seems not available on Software Center), however if the application does not appear in menu it is not necessary rebooting, just run
sudo updatedb

You will need to install the Steam package manually.
Go to http://store.steampowered.com/about/ and choose the "Install Steam now" link. This will download a debian package (ends in .deb) which you can open directly in the Ubuntu Software Center app. The "Install" button will then install Steam.
It appears it does not show up in the launchbar, but you can search for it (tap the Windows button) and launch it. When launched right-click on the icon to lock it to the launch bar.
You can then search for the Steam
