Are there any guides, tutorials or similar on how to use Steam more privately?

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.
I actually never heard of Lutris before, could you please provide me some links, etc. so I can get into it?
I don't really know what you mean by "other means", let's say Hogwarts Legacy for example. How could I acquire it otherwise, besides buying it for a console?
Alright.
Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.
