Steam client eats half gig of memory in idle mode. Literal electron trash tier level app, but somehow it gets deep-throated so hard by gabben glazers. Meanwhile discord has been vilified for a decade for the exact same shit.

Steam has better recording software than nVidia/AMD, clipping too. Steam has an infinite amount of ways to customize your experience and profile. Steam is the only good platform to buy video games and to get your support/questions resolved be it account all the way to refunds. Steam is now owned by a Jew. Steam store is the only way to buy the best handheld device available that also offers the best support. Steam & Valve did more for GNU/+Linux in the last 3/4 years than anyone ever could including it's creator.

I don't know about a platform but playnite is a nice client in my opinion for what I want form it.

Maybe it'll improve and fund free software, but Valve is stopping short of releasing the Steam client as free software. They have every opportunity to give back to free software.

Do a test: install or vibecode disable video autoplay user script and see how quickly steam store loads in, it's pretty fascinating how garbage Valve is. Bonus: while you are at it, make disable mouse hover effects and see how much that improves the store.

steamniggers unironically pay to not own games, play them under someone elses rules on some piece of shit spyware they have no control of instead of simply pirating and running natively, they truly are the goyim
