It’s no question that the Steam Interface is slightly outdated, But how would you change it for the better?

    Make it less reliant on Chromium. There’s no good reason my library page should use nearly 1gb ram when it had nearly 0 footprint before moving it to Chromium.

    And if they roll another chromium-based memory leak into the release? Fuck sake. I spent months only able to run Steam with Chromium disabled, something that’s no longer an option.

      And it’s extremely glitchy on Wayland with an Nvidia GPU, even with hardware based accel disabled. I moved from Spotify to spotify-tui and from Discord to a dedicated FF instance with canary.discord.com opened by default. It has a smaller memory footprint, that’s just sad. And of course it works much better.

      Steam is the last thing requiring electron/chromium.
