Steam client eats half gig of memory in idle mode.

I'm not sure there are anyone who actually LIKES the Steam client. I mean it's better than the alternatives sure, but it's more the service people like rather than the client itself.

If Steam was just a website where you downloaded the game installer, that would be fine. It's literally all I want.

Steam invited a lot of people into the free software community who weren't fully committed to free software.
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.

Yeah but then the UI will be very slow to load back.

The entire video game industry sucks ass because the use of predatory DRM-ware is considered an industry standard. Of all the predatory DRM-ware available for PCs, Steam is the least bad one that actually has games people want to play.

Steam is malware these days.
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.
