Good to know they are still making an effort

Nice, the latest update is completely bugged for me. If I launch a game full screen, the pop up for steam overlay appears multiple time, placing the chat window in front of the game, and the main steam window disappears forever.

Yeah sadly it just broke things for me. I appreciate the general idea but if it breaks games on stable debian then its not ready for release.

I would love for a native way to manage runtime installs for both steam and non-steam games. My homedir has very little space left and I have no idea what random runtime environments I can delete… (Previously installed games no longer installed)

On your library, if you tell it to show you Software instead of games and mark the “Only installed” option, it shows you what Runtimes and Proton versions are installed IIRC

So when you remove a non-steam game it also removes the runtime files? They are like 200-400mb each and I prefer to purchase games from places like GOG and others. But it’s easier to manage via steam.

Wish the client turns off when launching a game. 1-2 gb ram just for steamwebhelper is too much for someone with 4 or 8 gb ram.
There used to be an option to launch games without launching the full store but now it’s no longer working.
