I plan to install Steam again soon. Since I have never installed Steam under Arch, my question is what I need to install besides Steam itself. GPU is a RX 580, driver amdgpu. I am only interested in Path of Exile. If that can somehow be played without Steam, I would prefer that.
Basically:
Read Wine section should be possible according to Lutris - Wine Standalone w/ DXVK version
Or just read the whole guide, won’t hurt

One more question if I decide to go with the Steam solution: What is the difference between AMD AMDVLK and AMD RADV? I see that AMD RADV seems to be explicitly for a Radeon card, but I can’t really figure it out. I thought Vulkan is necessary in any case, so AMD AMDVLK?
That’s requirements for gaming period 
Just different naming for AMD drivers, hence why i linked ArchWiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan#Installation
Use amdvlk for best performance.
So for you it would be then:
-
Install Vulkan
vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader -
Install Vulkan driver for your GPU driver:
amdvlk lib32-amdvlk
And IF you want to install steam, if not see Wine / Lutris sections etc.
