Adwaita-for-Steam VS steam-tui

I use this skin its mostly fine and looks much better than default for me

Adwaita for Steam seems to not play well with this new beta, but I don't understand how to uninstall this theme. Any help? Thanks!

I'd love to some day see a GTK interface option, similar to https://github.com/tkashkin/Adwaita-for-Steam but actually a GTK/libadwaita app rather than just emulating the look.

A good fix is installing the Adwaita skin for Steam Or if you prefer the vanilla steam use this skin

I'm using cantarell-static for Adwaita-for-Steam to work better. After an flatpak package update, none of my flatpak gnome apps can use this font anymore.

- Patch steam library files

The adwaita theme for steam does not have the first issue.

All you have to do is to edit resource/layout/uinavigatorpanel.layout of your skin and replace all references to emailreminderbar or phonereminderbar with LibraryAnchor. Here is this fix applied to my skin for example.

It won't load on my system :(

do you mean steam app theme or profile theme? if its steam app then github is your friend (example), if its for your profile then steam points shop

However, Steam has been long offering https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD (command line, no UI) as an alternative to normal Steam Client so you can install that (replaces the current) and add either https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui or https://github.com/DioJoestar/SteamCMD-GUI that uses SteamCMD but offers a functional UI, the alternative you're seeking for.

Lucky for you, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD still works as the No-UI command line interface that's sole purpose is to act as a DRM-checking layer that is stripped from all the bloatware latest Steam Beta offers in the name of fancy. And if you combine that https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui or https://github.com/DioJoestar/SteamCMD-GUI, you'll get yourself a still functional and manageable but not so good looking DIY Steam Client, totally legit.

What can you do? Luckily so far https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD (Command Line UI) is still working for the lowest consumption and Players are fighting to keep it alive via Projects like https://github.com/DioJoestar/SteamCMD-GUI or https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui but I'm pretty sure that stupid developer will also convince Gaben to get rid of them sooner or later.

What about steam-tui https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui

GOG performs poorly because of its many Integrations hogging the resources & they're using Python as their language which is the main reason. Battlenet doesn't worth mentioning because they sell a dozen games, it's publisher store. Xbox client isn't great but LTSC is great as there are many negative posts about it on r/pcgaming. If you want performance, try Steam TUI + PlayNite, lightning fast.

You may try https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui but no guarantees because not all games work on SteamCMD.

Solution? Almost none but fan made projects like https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui that doesn't work for all game installs and running. Steam is sadly proving Newer isn't always the Better. So enjoy your RAM Monster that will eventually "force" you to buy new gear.

Have you tried steam-tui? disclosure: I am the author, and honestly I've had more luck through lutris.

Some that I have found: - GameHub (Neat project, but does not support the usage of proton or wine for steam games - PlayNite (Only supports Windows at the moment, Linux support will come some time in the future) - steam-tui (A little too bare-bones for my taste)
