Flatpak? Luxtorwhat? Oh look it doesn't mention option 3: download the linux build and unpack it somewhere.

@unelsson Absolutely, although knowing Debian, "stable" probably just got release 0.1 and "testing" is probably a version behind and about to be abandoned, so you use a third party repo that totally rules for about 8 months then stops getting updates but you don't notice until you start reporting bugs and see they're already closed and in release.

@tekhedd Debian stable doesn't seem to have openmw, but unstable has 0.48, which is fine. For more bleeding edge it's git clone -> cmake -> make.

@unelsson @tekhedd no one on SteamOS is going to be git cloning and using make to build stuff, the guide is plain and simply to give options that work basically everywhere

@unelsson So, you can't unpack a tar file on steam OS? Sorry I'm more of a vanilla Linux user, guess I'll find out when I start transitioning from Windows.
