https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-steam-on-ubuntu-16-04-xenial-xerus See if this works. I don't particularly remember how I got Steam on my old Ubuntu 16.04 installation but this should work.

Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Here are the commands you need to install steam

 

sudo apt-get update

 

Then

 

sudo apt-get install steam

 

Doing it from the software app always fails

Samsung evo SSD

a few HDD's
