Hello @Heic0, upstream support for Linux Mint 18.3 ended in 2021 along with Ubuntu 16.04. Sorry, but it's unreasonable to support distro releases which are end-of-life. Please update your system to a newer distro release.

I'm told the Russian error message translates to something like this:

[steamwebhelper.sh] line 115: in_container[@]: free value

If that's the case, this is probably the same thing as ValveSoftware/steam-runtime#284, which was an incompatibility with bash versions older than 4.4.

If true, this would mean that anything based on Ubuntu 18.04 or newer, Debian 9 or newer, or distros of a similar age should have a version of bash where this works.
