Ran steam.sh and it updated from there and has been running fine ever since. no root no nothing needed.
only thing that worries me is how the scripts and even binaries are so full of ubuntu12_32.
Desura has handled that all a lot better, but that is just my opinion.

Nobody said it would be easy.
The thing is that most of those package formats are redundant. Or just have advantage of tooling...

With the initial roll-out of the Steam Linux client being a success while primarily focusing upon supporting the Ubuntu distribution, Valve is now looking at improving the Steam support on non-Ubuntu Linux distributions...

I probably shouldn't have to change the way X handles "default" mouse pointers to not have a weird backwards pointer while using Steam.
Updating graphics drivers to a beta release just to use TF2 isn't super unreasonable other than the beta part. (still locks up like hell on me)
I know they're working hard to deliver the goods and I will keep looking in, hopefully with Unity4 we will get some non FPS AAA titles.
