I would love to see valve eventually have a whole team dedicated to their own OS and make it a super viable and stable distro.

I really would like steamwebhelper to stop crashing randomly. It breaks game recording, and it doesn't come back until you restart steam.
So many good clips lost :(
Still waiting for a fix to make Steam library sharing usable on a multi user system without quietly failing with nothing showing
Yes please, I've just been hit by this yesterday. Though there are workarounds.. But they aren't pretty.

How about you fix cs2 for Linux?
If ProtonDB says that it’s working then it’s working, most likely something ain’t right with your setup.
Did you even read the page?
I'm playing cs2 and everything is working bro
resolution changes lead to gui breaking and inaccurate mouse movements unless in windowed mode
Audio breaks forcing people to create a special config file for Pipewire
Gamescope does not work in comp (developed by valve) and has given vac bans for even using it
The FPS is lower than windows and has micro stutters when compared with windows (Nvidia reflex?)

i hope it finally fixes the bug that makes steam have alzheimers when it comes to windows size and position.
because I'm sick to fucking death of having to constantly resize and reposition the windows every time i switch between small/large and when launching.
Its so bad that I gave up and just started browsing steam store via browser.
I hate that it steals the focus like 5 times when launching. I'll try to click off to do something while it's starting, but it steals input focus. I get doing it once when the app finishes loading, but I really don't need to stare at the startup progress bar.
Steam, as a program, has fundamentally gotten worse with every update ever since they switched to electron/chromium
remember for a while they tried to take small mode away from us.
cause they are going down the same route that everything goes. Its gotten popular, so now they are trying to turn it into a social media platform.
I dont want a social media playform. theres already enough of those. I just want a small, slick, low resource, easy to use, quick to load program to buy my games and launch them.
Small mode? I had completely forgotten that it existed. I didn't know anyone used that.
it had utility, it would reduce ram usage, make the program more usable. But now it doesn't because it's all fucking electron, so it's literally useless.
Same, never heard of it, but now I want it.
I agree with the poster, I don't want any of that social nonsense, I just want to play games. As long as they keep developing Proton, I can forgive quite a lot.
