> PlayOnLinux uses wine to install steam though I thought.

PlayOnLinux scripts often add unnecessary overrides, use unsupported patches,
and/or obsolete Wine versions. They often cause problems that do not exist in
plain Wine.

If you are incapable of running the Steam installer on your own, use winetricks
to install it.
