Valve have been cooking! A new Steam Client Beta is available with something quite special for Linux gamers, as Valve work to continue improving Linux gaming.
Alright, let’s just ignore the containerization because of the problem Valve creates by making you open Steam when you play games you paid for. It’s just 64-bit for the runtime, not even the client itself. It’s 2026. I’m not going to act like this is noteworthy or an accomplishment.
You can run steam games without opening steam as long as they don’t use the steamworks DRM or require an additional login (Ubisoft, Bethesda). Both of these issues are created by the developers / publishers, not steam.
Do you even know what any of the words you’re using mean? It doesn’t matter whether the Steam client is running in the runtime, you still want the same containerization to run your games, because that’s how they make sure the games run everywhere.
You’re just angrily flinging shit around without understanding what any of this is about. Don’t you have anything better to do?
