I think the “Ubuntu Core 22” means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.
If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses core22

One of the last conversations I had on Reddit was with a guy complaining about how crap Linux is, that he installed Ubuntu and the desktop didn’t even work, it went straight to a terminal, and after some prodding he said that he couldn’t even get APT to work, and it hit me: “You didn’t install Ubuntu Core, their embedded OS version, did you?” No response.
To be fair on the guy, Canonical’s website is corporate sewage. finding the right ISO is a chore.
I politely disagree. Finding the Core ISO is harder than the Server/Desktop ones. https://ubuntu.com/download/core
