1. Launch Firefox and head on over to the Steam website to download the Linux client.
2. Open the downloaded file and click install. It may ask you for a password if you have your system protected, so go ahead and enter it in if you're prompted.
3. Once Steam is installed, you'll see a Steam icon on your desktop. Click it.
4. Steam will download a few packages to update to the latest version. Agree to download it by typing 'y' (without quotes) and hitting enter. Enter your password and continue.
5. Log into Steam and download Team Fortress 2. This may take awhile, so watch a few episodes of Breaking Bad, Community, or Game of Thrones in the meantime.
6. Also update your software drivers and graphics drivers for Ubuntu or the game might have difficulty launching.
7. Once everything's installed, launch Team Fortress 2. If you manage to get past the logo screen, you'll automatically unlock Tux.
