Steam is a video game cross-platform that Valve created. It was launched as a standalone software client in September 2003 as a way for Valve to provide automatic updates for their games and expanded to include games from third-party publishers and now boasts a library filled with thousands if not tens of thousands of games across all gaming consoles.
In fact, Steam Launcher installs pretty easily on most Linux distros, and often straight from the repos with no extra fiddling required. Remember that you can activate Proton driver support inside Steam Launcher to also play most advanced Windows-only games.
What I like about using Steam Launcher, is that I buy once, and can play the same game on Windows and Linux, and there is built-in support for playing most Windows games on Linux. So nowadays I buy exclusively through Steam.
