As a longtime Debian user, Steam can work really well on Debian, but rarely there are some things that fall between the cracks when some packages get updated. There's also a bit of latest-and-greatest envy because Debian (even testing) is a little bit behind. If you're only using your computer for Steam, look elsewhere.
