Steam client eats half gig of memory in idle mode.Literal electron trash tier level app, but somehow it gets deep-throated so hard by gabben glazers.Meanwhile discord has been vilified for a decade for the exact same shit.
>>109250753Steam hosts an infinite amount of video games.Steam has chats, group chats, voice chats.Steam has better recording software than nVidia/AMD, clipping too.Steam has an infinite amount of ways to customize your experience and profile.Steam is the only good platform to buy video games and to get your support/questions resolved be it account all the way to refunds.Steam is now owned by a Jew.Steam store is the only way to buy the best handheld device available that also offers the best support.Steam & Valve did more for GNU/+Linux in the last 3/4 years than anyone ever could including it's creator.
>>109250777Steam is not owned by a Jew*FUCK. Guess my entire post is irrelevant now.
>>109250753Which gaming platform client is better?
>>109250785But I love you! You are a great person. You deserve all the happiness in the world.
Idk keepassxc eats half a gig, thunderbird eats half a gigEverything is slop nowadays
>>109250816this. just don't be stupid or poor
>>109250753I'm not sure there are anyone who actually LIKES the Steam client. I mean it's better than the alternatives sure, but it's more the service people like rather than the client itself.
>>109250753This doesn't have to be the case they can just switch to C# + Avalonia.
>>109250753If Steam was just a website where you downloaded the game installer, that would be fine. It's literally all I want.
>>109250794>Which gaming platform client is better?>>109250886I'm not sure there are anyone who actually LIKES the Steam client. I mean it's better than the alternatives sure, but it's more the service people like rather than the client itself.I don't know about a platform but playnite is a nice client in my opinion for what I want form it.
>>109250777Steam invited a lot of people into the free software community who weren't fully committed to free software.Maybe it'll improve and fund free software, but Valve is stopping short of releasing the Steam client as free software. They have every opportunity to give back to free software.
>>109250777>0.5 GB without any of that running
>>109250753it would be nice if steam went into some minimal mode when playing (and not using steam features)
>>109250993>it would be nice if steam went into some minimal mode when playing (and not using steam features)Yeah but then the UI will be very slow to load back.
>>109250753The entire video game industry sucks ass because the use of predatory DRM-ware is considered an industry standard. Of all the predatory DRM-ware available for PCs, Steam is the least bad one that actually has games people want to play.
>>109250993Best part is they have a mode like it in practice under View > Small Mode, but it does jack shit to resources.

>>109250753>Literal electron trash tier level appthat's cause it is
>>109250753Steam is malware these days. Do a test: install or vibecode disable video autoplay user script and see how quickly steam store loads in, it's pretty fascinating how garbage Valve is.Bonus: while you are at it, make disable mouse hover effects and see how much that improves the store.
Lads, let me show you a magic trick: -nofriendsui -no-browser +open "steam://open/minigameslist"
>>109250753unused ram is wasted ram. also half a gig is literally nothing.
>>109250753Valve saw the power of propoganda decades ago anon. Are you new to the internett?
>>109251085Does this work on linux? I really don't want steam using my goddamn vram.
HALF A GIG?????????? HOW WILL I EVER DEAL WITH THAT?????
>>109251080>disable autoplaydoes picrel do the same thing
>>109251085>from 500MB to 350MB
>>109251156No. Proper html5 autoplaynblock stops videos from downloading.
>>109251108>Let's see Paul Allen's L1 L2 cache size
>>109251080>loading less stuff makes things fasterwow, you're a genius. did you know that you can disable video autoplay and all animated shit in the store?
>>109251156there's another setting in the video player for autoplay
>>109251170How do I install Tapniggermonkey user scripts on steam chrome?
>>109251127>no achievements>no cloud savealso kill yourself pedonigger
>>109251204I meant your browser. I only access the store via my browser because linux steam is so trash at least for me.
>>109251190where?
>>109251253man... I was so excited I thought you had found a way to install user scripts on steam desktop
>>109251266It could probably be possible but I'm not in the know.
>>109251178okay, now post yours
>>109250777>Embrace, Expand, Extinguish.They're just following in IBM's footprint to control alternatives look at Wayland and SystemD.
>>109251262same place where you can set the resolution of a video.
>>109250753way back when they used to use vgui you could disable the browser component and use mini library view which made it use 50mb instead of half a gig
