TTimo's wall

PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (`~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf` where <steamid> is your id).

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10846 for details.

I've tried walking average users through deleting a file in a hidden directory before. It might be quicker to just have them factory-reset their Steam Decks

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.

@TTimo Screw Snap and its vendor lock-in model.

@TTimo Or maybe just maybe tell the billion dollar company to shut down the steam client and their analysis. Allow users to download the game without any restrictions on their browser. Why is this hard to understand.
