Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap.

The best way to install Steam on Debian and derivative operating systems is to follow the instructions at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/#getting-started and use the official .deb

We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues.

If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version.

Man do I love Firefox. Today I noticed that there is a right-click feature on the url bar. I can right-click and copy the url without all that garbage site-tracking junk on the side of it. So cool. I have been really annoyed with having to manually remove that junk.

Thanks Mozilla.

One of the funniest things is still seeing random developers often like “why is something always broken on Linux?!” when talking about their app or game.

Then you see later they don’t build or test it at all locally to verify.

Well..duh? You expect something untested to magically work?
