Steam takes care of the distribution and version mumbo jumbo for you with their runtime https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime https://github.com/Valve

  Not entirely, but it's a lot better than 1.0/Legacy. https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/distro-assumptions.md https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/b... I hope they'll drop 32-bit support in the runtime with the next major version. More and more distributions are dropping it or are thinking about it. Any new game should really use 64.

  Thanks, this is very interesting. So the old native runtime was basically a messy hacky using LD_LIBRARY_PATH and Ubuntu 12.04 libraries, and now they're using containers based on Debian 10 (Steam Runtime 2 'soldier') or Debian 11 (Steam Runtime 3 'sniper'). Edit: Valve actually have some very interesting documents about their compatibility environments: - https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/doc/possible-designs.md https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/d... - https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/scout/README.md https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/... - https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/soldier/README.md https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/... - https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/sniper/README.md https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/...
