They're still making Steam Decks, and Steam Decks run on Linux, so yes.

That's saying more or less that they're stopping support for distros that haven't been updated since ~2020. You can't expect them to support old software forever. This is akin to them dropping support for Windows 7/8/8.1 a year back.

Yes. They provide a .deb file download on their site, and you can install Steam on many Linux distros using the built-in package manager.

 

What you've linked to is an article that says Steam will stop supporting Operating Systems with an older version of a specific package.

Sure do, firstly they make the SteamDeck, which runs "SteamOS", a fork of Arch.
Second the link you posted is just for older versions of a library, mainly for C/C++, any modern distro will be supported.
If you are for some reason running older libraries you should be able to update them and then run Steam.

There are a lot of updates to Proton always happening.  Steam is leaning into Linux harder than ever.

They are explicitly saying they will no longer support that version of glibc, which breakes ABI compatibility on certain newer ones
