-Over the years, [playing games on Linux][1] has become very accessible, thanks to the rise of tools like Wine, Proton, and others based on those two. - -Even **game developers are increasingly providing native support for Linux** by releasing games for Valve's handheld, Steam Deck that runs [SteamOS][2]. - -However, according to recent reports, it appears that **the unofficial Snap package of the Steam client is not behaving as intended** , as noticed by a Valve developer. - -**Suggested Read** 📖 - -![][3] - -**What's Happening:** A developer ( **Timothée Besset)** who works on the Steam client for Valve raised the concern in a [Mastodon post][4] about Steam's Snap app for Linux. - -If you didn't know, the [Snap version][5] is an unofficial offering developed by Canonical that was introduced back in 2022, as part of them going _“all in on the gaming experience on Ubuntu_ ”. - -The developer highlighted that they are **seeing a considerable increase in the number of bug reports** for issues caused by the Snap version of the Steam client. - -But, the thing is, **many users may not be aware that they are running the Snap version** of the Steam client, and reaching out to Valve with their issues instead of getting in touch with Canonical. - -And, why is that the case? - -Primarily, Ubuntu (and its official flavors) promote the use of Snap packages. And, whenever a user decides to install Steam from the software center, you end up installing the Snap app. And, many do not realize it. - -![][6] - -You do not get any disclosure that this package not officially maintained by Valve. - -Sure, a tick mark shows that Canonical maintains it, verifying the authenticity of the package. But, it is still not something officially recommended by Valve. - -So, I guess, the users are being misled (or confused) with the user experience when installing Steam on Ubuntu. - -![][7] - -And, naturally, users will expect it to work out of the box. And, if it does not, everyone will say " _Steam does not work on Ubuntu or Linux_ " affecting Valve's reputation. - -**What to do:** Well, according to Timothée, for Debian and any other Debian-based distros (including Ubuntu, of course), your **best bet is to install the official _.deb_** package from their [GitHub repo][8]. - -As an alternative, you can opt for the [unofficial Flatpak][9]. - -When **someone suggested making Steam detect Snap and stop it from working** , Timothée had the following to add: - -> the runtime report detects snap/flatpak (or it will). But generally we wouldn't error out .. user freedom and all that. If it gets really bad I guess we could start popping a warning. - -A warning does sound good to me. But, of course, now that Valve's concern is out there as a news, Canonical should work on resolving the issue and working together with Valve to improve the state of things. - -_💬 What do you think? Will Canonical step up and address the issues with their Snap-based Steam Client?_ - -Via: [GamingOnLinux][10] - -* * * - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: https://news.itsfoss.com/valve-steam-snap-ubuntu/ - -作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] -选题：[lujun9972][b] -译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ -[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 -[1]: https://itsfoss.com/linux-gaming-guide/ -[2]: https://itsfoss.com/steamos/ -[3]: https://itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/12/android-chrome-192x192.png -[4]: https://mastodon.social/@TTimo/111772575146054328 -[5]: https://snapcraft.io/steam -[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/steam-list-app.png -[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2024/01/steam-snap.png -[8]: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/ -[9]: https://flathub.org/apps/com.valvesoftware.Steam -[10]: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/valve-seeing-increasing-bug-reports-due-to-steam-snap-other-methods-recommended/
