Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The problem is that the steam package is i386 but the host is amd64, gnome-software then doesn't show i386 software in it's listing. Since around 18.04 a steam-installer package is available which is available on amd64, this package then depends on the i386 package steam. So you should be able to search and install the steam-installer package since 18.04 - therefore I am marking this bug as fixed released. ** Changed in: steam (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627157 Title: Steam is not searchable and installable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/steam/+bug/1627157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
