Describe the bug

Steam doesn't install on Debian bookworm - when using apt instead of flatpak.

Local Environment (please complete the following information):**

OS: Debian Bookworm
onboardme Version: latest

Context and potential fix

To fix this, we need to do a few things:

update /etc/apt/sources.list to have a contrib non-free line that also uses bullseye, and not just bookworm, because bookworm's sources are not yet updated.
add the i386 architecture with dpkg
we probably need to at least attempt or ask to attempt to install nvidia drivers too

part of this is caused by no longer using flatpak for steam installation, and instead using apt. We should also note that launching steam will need to be done through the terminal, as launching from gnome's apt launcher always fails when it comes to using VR equipment.

We should ask if they want to use VR stuff, and if they do, we should install and run nvidia-xconfig for them.
