Steam enshittified their client apparently,
Anyone else having issues with it? I’m on Arch with Gnome.
I find things don’t work properly now, family view gets stuck, file browser doesn’t load or takes AAAGES and is laggy as hell.
Generally more laggy.
I tried to find a way to roll back, but apparently there isn’t.
Just me?
That’s not what enshittification means. You can just say they made it worse.
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits
ah yes you’re right!
There’s literally thousands of complaints on Steam, some people also report an increase in RAM usage up to 1 GB, that’s insane on older machines, and even on new ones, I want my RAM for my games tyvm.
Is because they are usingcrappuy electrón now and works súper bad on wayland

I’ve found it lags my Nvidia machine but not the AMD one for whatever reason. But then in Linux I tend to find Nvidia just generally seems to have more problems than AMD, so I assume it’s to do with that.

Are you in the beta program? I was on beta and the new UI felt really laggy, change back to stable and the laggines went away. I’m on Tumbleweed.
I checked the settings, I’m not in any betas.
I’ve got no problems what so ever. Buttery smooth on Pop_OS and Mint (NVIDA cards)
I have noticed my library fail to render, requiring a restart of steam. Enshittification is the wrong word though, I don’t think steam is trying to monetize us any more than usual.
