Hello i am very new to Linux like just started yesterday and only because my girlfriend has a chromebook with the Chrome OS  but couldnt find a way to get steam on it, so i downloaded the lightest version of ubuntu/linux XFCE and got steam and im trying to open it but it continually says "you are missin the following 32bit librabries and steam may not run: libc.so.6" how can i fix this or get around it.  Also planning to play around with linux as well and plan to use it more cause as i understand it way more open than windows. But as of now i just need help with this steam situation.

The chromebook is probably using a ARM CPU.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

You should get Wine from the Ubuntu Software Center and then try to install steam again with an .exe file.

It is, does that affect it alot.

Then you cant run x86 programs at all.  It has to have a arm version.
