This has made Steam something to avoid for me. I tried switching to Flatpak version to see if that would help, but unfortunately not. For me it started ~1 year ago. The performance issues have made me not want to even open Steam anymore so I have nearly completely stopped playing. (not related to this issue but several games have also added kernel anticheats, killing off Linux versions, which also has contributed to this)
