Valve 对于 Ubuntu 的 Snap 版本的 Steam 并不满意：原因何在
|
||||||
|
======
|
||||||
|
|

|
||||||
|
> 你可能会发现，Snap 版本的 Steam 并不如你期待的那样好，你怎么看？
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
近年来，由于 Wine、Proton 等工具的兴起，在 Linux 上 [玩游戏][1] 变得非常容易。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
甚至，**越来越多的游戏开发商为 Linux 提供原生支持**，通过为运行 [SteamOS][2] 的 Valve 手持设备 Steam Deck 发布游戏。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
然而，最近的报道显示，**一名 Valve 开发者注意到，Steam 客户端的非官方 Snap 版表现并不如预期**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**事情是这样的：** 一位负责 Valve 的 Steam 客户端开发的开发者，Timothée Besset，在 [Mastodon][4] 上对 Linux 的 Steam Snap 版本表达了担忧。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
需要知道的是，[该 Snap 版本][5] 是 Canonical 在 2022 年发布的非官方版本，作为他们全力打造 Ubuntu 游戏体验的一部分。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
该开发者指出，他们**发现由 Snap 版本的 Steam 客户端引发的问题报告数量大幅度增加**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
然而，问题在于，**许多用户可能并未意识到他们正在运行的是 Steam 客户端的 Snap 版本**，反倒是首先向 Valve 报告问题，而非与 Canonical 取得联系。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
原因何在呢？
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
主要是因为 Ubuntu（及其官方发行版）在推广 Snap 包的使用。同时，当用户从软件中心安装 Steam 时，系统会默认安装 Snap 应用，许多用户并未觉察。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][6]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
然而，用户并未得到任何关于这个包并非由 Valve 官方维护的信息。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
虽然有一个标记表明 Canonical 是它的维护者，验证了包的真实性，但是，它并不是 Valve 官方推荐的东西。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
因此，若在 Ubuntu 上安装 Steam，用户可能会被误导（或是产生困惑）。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][7]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
自然地，用户会希望软件开箱即用。如果做不到，就会有人声称 “Steam 在 Ubuntu 或 Linux 上无法工作”，这会对 Valve 的声誉产生影响。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**如何应对：** 根据 Timothée 的建议，对于 Debian 及其它基于 Debian 的发行版（当然，包括 Ubuntu），你**最佳的选择是从他们的 [GitHub 仓库][8] 下载并安装官方的 _.deb_** 包。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
作为替代，你也可以选择 [非官方的 Flatpak][9]。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
有人**建议让 Steam 检测 Snap 并禁止其运行**，Timothée 进一步补充说：
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> 运行报告会检测到 snap/flatpak（或即将检测到）。但考虑到用户的自由等等因素，我们通常不会因此停止服务。如果真的出现严重问题，我们可能会开始发出警告。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
我觉得发出警告听起来不错。但当然，既然 Valve 的关切已经被公之于众，Canonical 应对这个问题采取行动，与 Valve 合作改善现状。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
💬 你觉得呢？ Canonical 会采取行动，解决他们所开发的基于 Snap 的 Steam 客户端存在的问题吗？

Valve is Not Happy With Ubuntu's Snap Version of Steam: Here's Why
|
|
||||||
======
|
|
||||||
The Snap Package for Steam does not work as well as you would expect,
|
|
||||||
thoughts?
|
|
||||||
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?_
