    I don’t care about hardware acceleration for a game launcher, but I sure wish they would make it use the native system widgets and theme. They need to reduce the bloat by about 95% as well.

      My biggest worry around Linux gaming right now, even with all the progress we’ve seen, is that Steam is basically becoming Linux gaming, and it is, after all, proprietary. I don’t love our ability to play games moving heavily into the hands of one, ultimately pretty greedy, private company. Sadly companies like that really want control, and that will always include the bloat they deem “necessary.”
