The new #Steam client they are going to release soon, is going to be a big problem for many #Linux users, or at least those of us with non-high-end computers.

It is too heavy, slow, and hogging system resources.

You can try it today by enabling the Steam beta in your settings.

I wish there's a way to stay in the old Steam client. T_T

Anyone found a workaround?

My system:
* Intel i3 10th Gen 2.10GHz × 4
* OS: #PopOS 22.04 LTS
* Acer TravelMate P213-52
* RAM: 8 GiB
* Gfx: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics

@youronlyone @gaming Bear in mind you'll get a bit of a boost when the debugging flags are turned off. That said, if you want efficient you should probably be using SteamCMD, the Valve supported official command line client: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

@jaduncan@mastodon.social Ahh, there are debugging flags… yeah, that explains it.

Thank you for the SteamCMD suggestion! I'll give it a try. Much appreciated!
