While it embeds the browser, I don't think it uses the web tech to draw the UI.

It bundled with a bunch of GTK and SDL libs.

Steam Big Picture / Steam Deck Gaming Mode is a fancy website.

Proof: At least on Steam Deck you can right click with your mouse and print it.

Damn, you're right!

Now I'm not sure how to feel. I like the Big Picture UI, but hate when people use browser to draw UI in applications 😅

Really shows that bad web-based UX is the fault of the developer and not the technology.

Steam is extremely not fine as a ui, and you know it. It's just great in the backend (probably because it's not Electron...)

I actually like it. Especially the big picture mode on SteamDeck.

Ah yes especially when you have no control over the popup and cannot scroll or hide it and the touch is disabled. Or when it opens webpages for no reason. Man I truly understand that their masterful backend is saving humanity but no, we should not pretend that the ui is laudable
