Fedora 32 : Play games with Steam service.

Steam is a video game digital distribution service by Valve. It was launched as a standalone software client in September 2003 as a way for Valve to provide automatic updates for their games, and expanded to include games from third-party publishers., see Wikipedia.
Is very easy to install and play a game with Fedora 32 Linux distro, just follow these commands:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo dnf update --refresh
[sudo] password for mythcat:

Fedora 28 : Alien, Steam and Fedora distro.

Today I tried an incurs in converting deb files into packages rpm for Fedora 28.
As you well know, the alien utility is used to solve this problem.
The Debian package I tried to convert is the Steam gaming utility.

The problem comes from the conversion and I try to see I have the correct packages into my Fedora 28 distro.

I try again to see is something new , but I got the same error.

In conclusion: Fedora distro solves a number of shortcomings in the field of package management, but the efforts of the development team do not resolve to cover user requirements. However, the alien utility remains a very important step in the development process that should be updated and optimized to implement new software. I would add here my attempts to create Fedora packets with software that works normally on this distro (Blender 3D - version 2.8).
Let's hope that the Fedora development team will resolve these issues until the next version of this distro.

Try now with your linux os : the plan .

Working under many operating systems, like PC, MAX and Linux OS.
Very good effect and with a great music this game will take your attention.
Also available on Steam:
"A fly ascends to the skies, pondering the pointlessness of its brief existence. The Plan was developed as a side project by Krillbite Studio, who's currently finishing their main project Among the Sleep. "Hey, You Should Play This" - Patrick Klepek, Giantbomb "Some may argue that The Plan isn't"
