When will Steam stop using i386 packages? (lemmy.world)

Almost every distro I've used so far ends up having problems installing Steam due to mismatching i386 packages. I've heard that they're being removed upstream. Anyone happen to know a timeline?

I use the Steam flatpak. The nice thing about that is that 32bit libraries aren’t installed on the host system.

Only reason I haven't done that is because of VR. Not sure if VR works through flatpak.

SteamVR works on Linux? What headset, if I may ask?

Can report that ALVR with a Quest 2 works great.
