I got Mint reinstalled.
Installed Steam after I got Vivaldi browser up and running and synced.
And, kids....if you want to install Steam in Mint or Ubuntu, don't use the software manager. Open a command prompt and use the following:
sudo apt install steam-installer
From the Reddit comment I found on this:
"steam-installer is a meta package (collection of packages) that includes a handful of recommended dependencies in an Ubuntu/Mint environment.
It includes the steam-installer script that is responsible for downloading the latest steam client on first execution and setup up the environment, steam-libs, steam-libs-i386, debconf, lsof, and zenity (a tool for displaying graphical dialog boxes from shell scripts), and any dependencies required for those packages (like steam-devices for example). It basically does everything needed and recommended for Steam to work except add the i386 architecture, which Mint already has enabled."
My first test of Steam, post-install, was to install Skyrim. It ran BEAUTIFULLY in high graphics mode.
Next up, Elder Scrolls Online..which has been downloading FOREVER...
On another note, this has me wanting to do more stuff in command line. 😁 ⌨️
