I mean what exactly are you looking to get out of using steam specifically? You can use lutris to play your games, and you can acquire games through means other than steam that would be P2P and have a bit more anonymity that way. Other than that, like the other person mentioned use vpn to create an anonymous account but other than anonymity i’m not sure what you can do for privacy on steam.

Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.

where to get games:
this will not probably work for most multiplayer games or always-online games like Genshin Impact
Lutris is a FOSS game launcher for GNU+Linux that handles installing from different (open-API) sources like GOG or itch.io or just a local installer file. It also manages wine/proton versions, settings and prefixes for each game. It also integrates with a lot of emulators for old consoles like 3DS, PSP or Atari.
