You could try the Flatpak version. At least your OS will be clean, and the only 32-bits parts will be inside the flatpak runtimes.

True, although correct me if I'm wrong, people have issues with the flatpak version? I apologise if I'm talking out my ass, I couldn't tell you what these "problems" are. It may just be a baseless claim. XD

After many years playing on the Flatpaked Steam, I'm yet to see any problem.

Ahh, thanks for that, I'm probably making shit up.

Maybe not. Like every new format, Flatpak probably had some rough edges at first, and a software as complex as Steam must have been a nightmare to convert. It was probably broken at first, but it was probably enough for some to consider it as unredeemable.
