    Still no Wayland support…

    Don’t get me started on the client being 32-bit in this day and age

      I ran Steam on Wayland just fine for several years.

        I meant without XWayland. Ofc you can run basically any x app via XWayland.

      In a way, Steam being 32bit ensures the kernel and most distros keep supporting 32bit.

        Sadly, that’s true. We still have to support 32-bit because of steam. It’d be cool if we could FINALLY move on from ancient x32. Oh, and also X11.

          That won’t be possible, I think, anytime soon. We still need X11/XLibre because, while it’s old, it’s still relevant even now. As for 32-bit shenanigans, that’s also a requirement for backwards compatibility.

            How is X11 STILL relevant when Wayland, a CLEARLY better alternative, exists? And also, why should we keep supporting ancient stuff? Get used to the change or perish, that’s how LIFE ITSELF works.

              how is x11 still relevant

              the same way cobol is still relevant while it being older than x11

              How is it clearly better? It’s a broken incompatible mess that’s being pushed on everyone that offers more headaches than benefits

              Check this for example https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277

                Okay, but that didn’t answer the second point.

          Don’t you fucking touch my X11. I need it for my BSD rig. After I get a GPU you can have it.

        true, unless they had a stance against proprietary software. (e.g, Fedora Linux,Trisquel)
        but afaik Fedora tried to remove 32 bit support but it received backlash

          They didn’t try to remove 32-bit support. One Fedora contributor floated it as an idea, and the press/comment sections went wild.

      Why does it need to be 64-bit? Does it really need to address more RAM to launch games?

      maybe in the future Steam Client will become x64-bit/Wayland if CEF compiled only on X64-BIT and Wayland,
      Cause a Steam Client update broke the Windows 8.1 and below thingy not Valve Manually blocking it lol.
