Steam for Linux
Why use Kali as a main distro though? In that case you can just install the Kali tools on your main distro, which would achieve better compatibility with the rest of the Linux world.
On Arch there’s even a Blackarch repository which is the tools divided into categories (social engineering, reversing, forensics, etc).

This is basically steam on any not directly supported distro. This sorta looks like a «I’m cool and use kali» thread.
i got the following error:
Cannot run as Root user;
Press Enter to continue:
Create a regular user account and then run steam off of it (don’t use root for everyday desktop use, only administration and for tools that need it like nmap). For max security, you should be running minimal proprietary software, and SURE AS HELL not as root user.
On my computer, I even isolate all of steam into its own user account and give it permission to use my X window:
# useradd -m steam -G audio,video
Script I launch steam from:
#!/usr/bin/sh
xhost +si:localuser:steam
sudo -u steam -g steam steam
xhost -si:localuser:steam
If you really don’t give a damn, you can always just edit the original steam launcher script and delete the check it does that prints that error message and exits.

Hello. I just downloaded steam_latest.deb from officals site. And i installed it. But it shows «Cannot run as root user». Then i made some changes in /usr/bin/steam.
(
if [ «$(id -u)» == «0» ]; then
show_message —error $»Cannot run as root user»
exit 1
fi
)
i changed this one [ «$(id -u)» == «0» ] to this one [ «$(id -u)» == «1» ]
But now steam shows another error.
«You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6»
guys help me!
PS: Sorry for bad english.
The reason it doesn’t work and the reasons you should not be using it are explained in detail at the Kali Linux site at the link below. The paragraph below is a quote directly from that pages that applies to your situation:
| The fact of the matter is, however, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testers and security specialists, and given its unique nature, it is NOT a recommended distribution if you’re unfamiliar with Linux or are looking for a general-purpose Linux desktop distribution for development, web design, gaming, etc. |
the «young ones» a blast from the past
the reason you can not install steam on kali is the SAME REASON the developers TELL YOU. that you can not
doing so will KILL. the install
They even EXPLICITLY inform you that YOU CAN NOT . install steam .
Since the answer is on the Kali website, because they don’t carefully read before installing?
Would it be ill mannered to standardise «RTFW» as a response?

Why do you people keep acting like that? Have you ever even used Kali as a daily driver ?? or have you ever even used Kali at all??
Long term Debian user here, and i can definitely see why people would want to make Kali their main distribution.
And for God’s sake, stop saying that is not meant for that.
Want some references? Here’s an interview with Kali’s creator, in which he’s been asked EXACTLY that question. See his answer.
Kali, it’s just another linux distribution, with enough knowledge one can tailor it to its needs. It’s surely less full of bloatware than more «popular» distros like Ubuntu -_-

Don’t listen to these guys, the reason why you are having issues is because of the fact that Kali runs by default as root account, which is not suggested for everyday use. But there is a very simple fix for that!!
You just have to create a user account, here are the steps to create a normal user account (this way you would increase the security of your day to day operations) and adding also super-user privileges with the command sudo (it will come in handy maaany times believe me 
)
just type in the terminal the following :
useradd -m username (change username with the username of your choice, for example if you want your username to be royal , just type useradd -m royal) (the -m argument is used to create a home directory for the newly created user)
then we need to create a password for that user this can be easily done with the following command:
passwd username (as always, change username with whatever username you chose)
now we need to add this user to the sudoers (long story short, so you can access temporarily root privileges through the commando sudo)
usermod -a -G sudo username
and last but not least, run this other command, which serves to specify the bash for the newsly created user
chsh -s /bin/bash username
now you can logout from root, and log in with your new user credentials. (a restart is suggested sometimes to avoid permissions conflicts)
Steam, like many other software, will not run as root,to protect its users (Chrome does the same).
