    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.

    I was hoping there would be something about resource usage. Curse you, steamwebhelper

    Please fix the issue where you change my default graphic card settings in the desktop file. It’s super annoying to have to launch from the cli after an update.

    dropdown menus now appear correctly.

    I feel like I’ve heard this before. Anyway, if it’s true they’ve finally fixed a bug that’s almost two years old

    Did they fix the bug where launching a game with steam minimised opens steam store? That shit is one of the main reasons for me to sail the sea instead of buying from steam.

      Not sure wh the downvotes. I had to switch from gnome to KDE for the problem to go away. Steam client beta branch didn’t do anything

        I’m on nvidia and it’s such an irritating bug cause a lot of the times games don’t launch or work properly cause of the steam window in the background. It’s a legit issue, idk why steam fanboys are mad.

        Thanks, I’ll try kde as you said. Never knew kde fixed it.

        Gabe Newell said it himself. Piracy isn’t a price issue it’s a service issue. If the steam client is shit. Then we’re going to go pirate

            There’s still no light theme, you can’t upload videos, screenshots on your feed take like 20% of the screen with no proper full-screen view (it opens another window after two clicks that you have to close later), likes and comments don’t sync well between the friends feed and the game feed, and this list goes on and on. Steam client is far from fantastic. It’s a half-baked product with inconsistent user experience.

            I agree. I was just defending that other person. Still think it’s ass the the steam client is a second class citizen on Linux. It’s still filled with so many bugs you don’t see on windows

          So you enjoy pirating games. Great! More power to you.

          But then let’s not pretend it’s because of the steam UI.

            I said it’s one of the reasons. Let’s not speak for each other.

            Are you a steam fanboy or something?
