Looks like Steam for Linux is supported on Debian 8 (2015) or newer. So it runs fine on Linux, but only Linux that is newer than the latest Windows release losing support today: 8.1 at 2013.
Or to phase it another way: Steam on Linux has worse backwards compatibility.
- phanimahesh 4y ago8 years of no upgrades is not the norm for desktop or laptop linux machines. Old hardware is still supported on newer versions, and you can have an equivalent desktop experience on it today as in 2015, so there's no reason to not upgrade. Windows folks don't upgrade because upgrades change a lot, newer os is unsupported on older hardware, and/or newer versions have become extremely user hostile.
