It's Steam; you might wish they had more support on Linux, but you can't say that Steam doesn't support Linux.
Honestly I struggle to imagine how Steam could support it more.
Steam client needs the XWayland translation layer to work on any modern DE, plus 32-bit libraries (which are not installed by default).
He could be alluding to valve only supporting their own distro and Ubuntu LTS officially.
