Improving Steam Client Stability on Linux
To raise awareness: there's been a bug with the Linux Steam client which has been persistent for a long time.
TL;DR: if you have Steam running for more than a ~day or so, you will run out of window handles so you won't be able to open any new graphical application/window until you restart Steam.
Using Steam Chat appears to make the issue worse (it happens earlier).
This has been documented under https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9094 but for some reason that issue has been closed.
I personally just restart Steam every day but if someone else encounters this issue and doesn't know why their windows are not opening, this is why :)
I am using KDE/Wayland but I've observed this under X11 too.

bashsimplecurses: Simple curses library made in bash to draw terminal interfaces
This is cool, I've used curses UIs to build various small things that need to be a) vaguely easy to use (so, complicated CLIs are out. oncalls need to be able to use this at 3am while half their brain is still sleeping) and b) accessible over ssh because we have secure ssh access to these envs but ~nothing else.
So I love TUIs.
That said, I'm always a little puzzled about why people build these libraries in bash. Is it simply curiosity? Maybe, and if so, godspeed.
But if it's driven by pragmatism, let me assure the reader that if there are limits to the extents I will go to get python somewhere instead of writing even a somewhat nontrivial bash script, I have yet to find them. Not only is bash just kind of really annoying to program in, it's also nearly unethical to program in. Let me link the 2 I always link to when someone tells me they're "working on" a bash script.
Steam deleted my entire system (empty variable expansion): https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671
Bumblebee deletes /usr due to space: https://www.reddit.com/r/softwaregore/comments/2hsdo6/giant_...
So I warn people: if you use python, you'll categorically avoid being the third entry in my list.
- 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.
