Details
As of a couple of days ago, Steam was updated to work better
with host libraries and open source drivers, as written
about here:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/announcements/detail/586991182161672256 These patches make Steam work 'out-of-the-box' from my testing without the need for any workarounds, such as the Steam-Native launcher and /usr/bin/steam-native.sh scripts. I can't speak if there are some use-cases where these work arounds may come in handy, but I believe for the vast majority of people that stock Steam should now work just fine. |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: steam-native still provides a different use-case not provided by default.
On top we want to keep that indirection on place in case we want to add some fixes again for the regular runtime

After collecting the test results i will come up with a good way to approach it, which is either unify the things from steam-native launcher into the regular steam and make everything native or leave it as is to force definitivly not using steam-runtime shipped libs.
However after the first launch and Steam updates itself, subsequent launches work fine with the /usr/lib/steam/steam script. So I guess we're not in the clear yet.
