please god let the client have a 64 bit wayland edition coming
The version of Wayland I'm running on bazzite right now is 32-bit? No wonder I'm having issues with 2 4K monitors lol
the steam client doesn't use wayland and is 32-bit, don't think that has anything to do with your monitors though
They have to do it for steamos ig
does it say which team fortress 2 class it's named after?
Steam Linux Runtime 4 (Saxton Hale)
/s
That's a good sign, that Valve is moving at least the runtimes to 64bit only. Maybe that means the client is under similar scrutiny internally. Recently when Fedora was discussing dropping more 32bit libraries Steam came up as a big issue.
Yeah, 32bit is why I removed Steam from my Debian desktop daily driver again. I got conflicting 32bit and 64bit versions of some libraries that broke my system. I'm going to try a gaming focussed distro like Bazzite next time.

Debian separates out stuff with :[arch] suffixes, and is really flexible in the sense that it even lets you install stuff from completely different architectures for, for example, use with qemu userspace. An i386 package is going to only request i386 dependencies, unless it explicitly specifies an architecture, and vice versa. Arch Linux uses the "lib32-" prefix and I don't really remember how it worked on Fedora but I would imagine something similar. All "gaming focused distros" are merely just their mainstream counterparts with an extra repo for a few packages, it's not going to change fundamentals.
OpenSUSE is the same, the 32-bit stuff is completely separate from the 64-bit stuff, so you won't get conflicts between them.
Your better off using cachy if you want a gaming focused distro that doesn't break. Unless you use mostly flatpaks. Then bazzite is good
Any news about an aarch64 version?
The new VR headset runs ARM, so presumably it'll launch with that.
Did you see this story a couple days ago? It seems like they're working on it? https://lemmy.zip/post/53357230
