I have also the issue “Runtime steam is not available locally” in Linux Mint 20.1 cinnamon .
I hope someone can help us

Just registered an account to post a solution I found. For me I was missing lib32,lib64, and steam runners. Every time Lutris started, it was stuck on the “Lutris is starting” prompt and the terminal shows the same end-of-stream error as above. Anyway, the links to the runtimes to download them using a browser are

https://lutris.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/runtime/lib64.tar.bz2
or
https://lutris.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/runtime/runtime name.tar.bz2

Extracting these to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtimes DOES NOT WORK for me.

Instead, run lutris (in terminal) and wait for it to make the lib64.tar.bz2, lib32.tar.bz2, steam.tar.bz2… files in ~/.local/share/lutris/runtimes, then copy the completely downloaded archives and replace the archives lutris generated before lutris fails to download them. Lutris should then successfully extract the runtimes.
