after doing the Padoka PPA and refreshing the update manager and it not coming up with any new software [i had levels 4 & 5 visible] i tried the Oibaf PPA and i got some updated drivers with that, still no luck though.

looks like a driver problem

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: UltraVioletI guess if I'm using a legacy AMD GPU I have to use the open source drivers on Mint 18 and still can't use Steam ?

The open source AMD drivers won't stop you from running Steam and games, but your legacy GPU might.

Quoting: LeopardNo, you can run Steam with open source drivers.

on Mint 17 everything was fine, now on Mint 18 i get the 'bootstrap' error when trying to load up Steam because its looking for the proprietary drivers and Mint 18 doesn't have them. i realize its just a matter of removing some legacy code from Steam, but, not being great at this kind of thing last time i tried it i didn't have much luck
