Quoting: danyskQuestion: do the games run for you if you just run Steam as:

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

without altering your installation with compatibility libraries? Looks like the Steam runtime ships the old version of the library, but it does not get loaded as the host library are preferred.

That should work, as I tried loading the OpenSSL libs from the runtime and that worked. However, loading the whole runtime means reintroducing the good old libstdc++.so incompatibility for open source AMD drivers which means Steam will stop working entirely. You can probably preload system libstdc++.so and then go with runtime libraries but it's going to be a bit of a mess regardless. So, you might as well use compatibility libraries for SSL.

Just you wait, for tomorrow we shall dine in Punhalla! Or Sunday next week, but that's beside the point.

You are all such fancy pants with your ultra c00l gamer gear. The path to glorious frags is paved with many broken cheapo mice and modesty!

This is part of the codebase now, it will happen every time April 1st comes around. There's nothing you and me can do about it.

Quoting: tmtvlI should get myself a gaming rig, but it's hard to find Linux machines with a decent AMD GPU. I can't put one together myself, 'cause I always mess up putting the CPU on the motherboard and end up wrecking everything.

Can you get one without a dedicated gpu? Then you'd only need to install the gpu yourself.

Indeed, this is probably among the best ways to go if you need a gaming rig but don't want to build it yourself. After all, a gaming rig is an average CPU with an above-average GPU. Though it's also sometimes possible to have a PC be built for you with the components you desire, some shops offer this as an option and will naturally take a bit of extra on top of component prices but you get to avoid the DIY.

Or you can get someone that builds rigs frequently to do that for you.
