[lubuntu-users] unbuntu software compatibility with lubuntu

[bobmara999 at yahoo.ca]

hello. i would like to inquire about future plan for lubuntu compatible software
i just did a day 1 re-install of a laptop for a friend (laptop had reveiced very little love while being stored in the wrong warehouse. its received hits, viruses and had part stolen, etc) 

it was iniatialy a vista and had been converted to window 7.  so after failing to change it to window 10 and vanilla unbuntu. i decided to use your operating system : lubuntu wich (in term of system requirement) fitted the need and capacity of the laptop completely.
i even had the pleasant surprise to learn that it was compatible with vanilla unbuntu software (i though)
but to my great sadness, the software page have failed to install the steam package and i can't seem to find a great variety of software (even though VLC media player devloper do have an unbuntu release.
is there something i missunderstood about the backward compatibility between lubuntu software and ubuntu software ?
