The steam client is only officially supported on Ubuntu and only using KDE, Gnome or Unity.

No. They offer a .deb package but repackaging and redistribution is allowed.

Valve’s support team won’t check issues on any other Linux setup.

That's false. I guess you never actually reported a bug on their Github page. Here is a random bug report from Steam on Fedora installed from RPMFusion with a Valve developer asking for details instead of closing the issue for being unsupported: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12422

    Steam web and the readme in the repo says Ubuntu is a requirement, so they are not being very clear on what they do give support to. I know they allow redistributing the client, but that is a different thing.

    Yeah, when their own documents don't even mention Steam Deck or SteamOS, you can just conclude that these are yet another pieces of text that have not been brought up to date by editors, especially when the website still lists Unity as supported desktop. Keeping support documents up to date is just one of the things Valve sucks at.
