Valve released an official statement about further support for Linux

Amid the recent hype caused by Canonical's announcement to stop supporting 32-bit architecture in Ubuntu, and the subsequent abandonment of their plans due to outrage, Valve announced the continuation of support for games for Linux.

Valve said in a statement that they "still confirm the use of Linux as a gaming platform" and also "continue to make significant efforts to develop drivers and various features to improve the gaming experience across all distributions", which they plan to talk more about later.

Regarding Canonical's newer plan for Ubuntu 19.10 and beyond for 32-bit support, Valve said that they are "not particularly excited about removing any existing functionality, but such a change of plans is highly welcome" and that "it is likely that we We can continue to officially support Steam on Ubuntu."

However, when it came to changing the gaming scene on Linux and discussing ways to improve the gaming experience, Arch Linux, Manjaro, Pop!_OS and Fedora were mentioned. Valve has stated that they will work more closely with more distributions, but have yet to announce which distributions they will officially support in the future.

Also, if you're working on a distribution and need a direct link to Valve, they suggested using this link.

Thus, the fears of many players that Valve will stop supporting Linux turned out to be groundless. Even though Linux is the smallest platform on Steam, Valve has made a lot of efforts since 2013 to improve the situation and will continue to do so in the future.
