AugmentedSteam VS steam-tui

Actually using CHROME + https://augmentedsteam.com/ is the BEST experience that you can ever obtain in your Lifetime at the moment because https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework is long time proven to be "Broken" against other websites, Steam UI overhaul removed CEF UI for Electron UI that even Back button is now broken from time to time, there's NO Ad blocking and other extensions on Steam Client, in short you're utterly clueless of what you're suggesting.

This is why I use the store from my browser with the augmented steam addon.

I use it with their browser plugin Augmented Steam: https://augmentedsteam.com/ (you can use with Chrome, Firefox, Edge)

Seriously. I've saved so much money thanks to ITAD (and, by extension, Augmented Steam) since Steam is not often the site offering the lowest price. Even now with the Summer Sale going on, most of the games I'm interested in are cheaper on Green Man Gaming, GameBillet, and Fanatical. Anyone who isn't using ITAD to track sales is a bit of a fool.

And you can check this either by using SteamDB like https://steamdb.info/app/546560/ to learn the percentage difference after setting your currency and checking the other currency or simply install https://augmentedsteam.com/ that does the same thing but more pretty.

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)
