- OBS devs need to VERY seriously look into their Linux support
-
Is there any benefit to wayland?
Well, it can (Firefox is one example of dma-buf-based screencapturing in x11), but AFAIK obs still doesn't have such option out of the box (there is a plugin for that - https://github.com/w23/obs-kmsgrab, but I haven't tested it as there is not need for it on sway).

obs-nvfbc "Unable to get X driver status"
NVFBC won't work on PRIME, because with PRIME, your integrated GPU is driving the display. You want something like https://github.com/w23/obs-kmsgrab

- Steam Download Speed Slow on Linux Compared to Windows 10/11
-
Very slow download speeds in Linux but normal in Windows..
Anyone else noticing this? I don't believe I'm going insane. For a while now my download speeds, regardless of chosen server, are always slower in the Linux client compared to in Windows. Is the only appropriate place to post about this here -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Steam-for-Linux ? Would be great to know that I'm not the only one being affected.
- Steam ignores the "Later" button on client updates

steam can't load
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues Its seems to be a problem happening only to Nvidia GPUs. Not only Mint but many other distros A temporary solution is to open Steam from the Terminal using "steam -vgui"
- Problems Downloading Steam
-
Stable update today - Please read the forum post
I just spent a few hours working on that problem that Steam takes very long to appear. I did not have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed, and Steam is the only application that has that problem, so it's not the one from the update forum post. What my (and probably your) problem is, is this one: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9780. Some bug where CEF gets stuck in a loop. When I executed steam --reset an error about steamwebhelper and glibc appeared like 50 times, each taking a few seconds.

Hey I had the same issue - are you running this on Linux? On my arch machine I had this problem and was able to resolve it via the advice in this thread: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9640
