Valve has released the November update for the Steam game delivery service client on Linux. This release is notable for the formation of 64-bit builds and the transition to running the Steam client within a container using Steam Runtime. This change significantly simplifies the operation of Steam in Linux distributions. Until now, the Steam client was only available in 32-bit builds, which hindered distributions from fully discontinuing support for 32-bit CPUs and forced them to supply necessary 32-bit dependencies specifically for Steam or package Steam into self-contained formats like snap and flatpak.<\/p>\n
The new version also introduces a new interface for tracking and managing achievements while playing games. The notification settings window has been adapted for use on screens of any size. Library functionality in offline mode has been improved. Remote Play has significantly upgraded HDR support and implemented settings for scaling output considering different screen aspect ratios on both local and remote systems. Support for GameInput API v4 has been added. In Big Picture mode, the chat interface has been updated and a separate widget for sending game invites has been introduced.<\/p>\n
