Almost every distro I’ve used so far ends up having problems installing Steam due to mismatching i386 packages. I’ve heard that they’re being removed upstream. Anyone happen to know a timeline?

i could be wrong but my understanding it’s still 32 bit because of game compatability with older steam games and since the app itself is only a limited web browser and library. It doesn’t need that much memory. So the compatibility wins out for as long as it can.
I use the Steam flatpak. The nice thing about that is that 32bit libraries aren’t installed on the host system.
That’s what I’ve resorted to but it’s not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.
About the same time we get Steam with Wayland support:
“When the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves.”
