I definitely second the idea of enabling multi-arch by default. It really
confused me that I was unable to install Steam on KDE Neon. After I was unable
to install Steam via apt, I downloaded the deb from Steam's website, but that
did not result in a working installation (even after adding the i386
architecture and letting Steam download a bunch of needed libraries). The
installation process went fine but Steam would always crash when started.
Using the technique described by you still doesn't work for me though. I did
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt update
but when using
$ sudo apt install steam-installer
I still got

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
steam-installer : Depends: steam (= 1:1.0.0.61-2ubuntu3)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I was able to simply install steam directly via
$ sudo apt install steam
After switching to a new console window and executing
$ steam
the other needed libraries were downloaded and Steam is now starting on my
system.
Note that when I do
$ sudo apt search steam
I get
funnyboat/focal,focal 1.5-11 all
side scrolling arcade shooter game on a steamboat
python3-iapws/focal,focal 1.4-2 all
Python3 implementation of the international APWS-IF97 steam tables

steamcmd/focal 0~20180105-3 i386
Command-line interface for Valve's Steam
Note how all packages include the "/focal,focal" part except for the steam
package and the steam-launcher that have "/unknown,now" and "unknown/unknown"
respectively.
I'm not sure but maybe this is why installing steam-installer still doesn't
work?
Furthermore I want to mention that the Synaptic package manager does only list
the packages
- steam-devices
- steam-installer
- steam-launcher
when searching for "steam" (so it doesn't list the steam package itself). Only
now that I have installed it manually, does it also list "steam:i386".
Not sure of this info is even related to the problem, but in case it is I
wanted to share it :)
