    I had this until I switched to flatpak version a year ago. That helped both with graphics driver issues and the stability of the main client for me.

      flatpak is the official release of steam iirc, so that’s why.

          it’s certainly one of the reasons to, i’m not sure why they dont support a basic native version as well as the flatpak, but that’s modern software for you i guess.

        You can use Flatpak as well?

          I assumed I could, but (also assumed) it was difficult to do so and would introduce fuckyness. I was wrong!

            The problem with using flat pack version of Steam for me was the weird folder structure for installing games. I like my stuff to be easy to remember and human readable. I.e. Home/Games instead of 726284783/737384/*installed game
