[–] Waffle@infosec.pub 3 points 8 months ago (2 children) Can you please clarify what you mean by this comment? Isn't SteamOS just a pre-configured Arch build? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] elvith@feddit.org 3 points 8 months ago* (1 child) I don't understand it either. I'm running it on Fedora w/o problems. Edit: I mean the steam client. Steam OS is based on Arch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OrganicMustard@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children) I'm saying that Steam is not fixing any issues in the client for anything that is not Ubuntu (and SteamOs of course) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 child) That text box is obviously a leftover from the before times. Some pages on Steam's website don't get updated for ages. It's not great but not news either.

No. They offer a .deb package but repackaging and redistribution is allowed. Valve’s support team won’t check issues on any other Linux setup. That's false. I guess you never actually reported a bug on their Github page.
