      You pirate games because Steam opens a window?

      EDIT: Seems you’re starting to resort to cheap attacks on me because you got downvoted

        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

            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

              I wouldn’t know since I’ve never used it on Windows, I created my Steam account when they started supporting Linux.

              I guess I’m just grateful a major company is making desktop apps and compatibility layers for Linux, so I’m willing to look past a few issues.

            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.

              Hmm, I guess none of that bothers me:

              • I prefer dark theme
              • I don’t care about videos/screenshots/social stuff aside from “wanna join my game?” - I use a separate chat for that
              • feed?

              But I can see how it can be frustrating if you use those features.

          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?

      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.

      Checked and no they haven’t lol.

      I don’t think this used to be an issue because I used to use desktop icon launchers in the past, which makes it weird that it somehow changed. I think maybe after the big new UI update?
