There are no plans for a native linux client right now, but there is an awesome community-driven approach to run it on linxu in our docs here

Check the Edit :)

Oh, there are quite a few examples!

For instance, retro players have gathered their entire collection of games mostly on discs and DVDs. However, these physical formats are not everlasting and hard to organize, so they’re searching for a solution to preserve their games from deterioration and create a convenient way to play them. Building their very own “steam” just for this purpose.

Yo, we ditched the pipe, man! Clean for a couple days now… Check out our blog for the full story. Peace!

We’re on it right now. It seems like it made its way into the documentation a bit too soon, and for that, we apologize.

Would you mind submitting a feature request for adding non-Steam games to Steam? If you need assistance with that, please let us know. Additionally, do you happen to know if there’s an API or protocol available for such functionality?

Not in our plans right now as we currently lack the expertise and manpower to handle multiple platforms. However, we’re actively encouraging the community to create a third-party solution. Let’s work together for an awesome outcome!

Anything else than windows is not in our plans right now as we currently lack the expertise and manpower to handle multiple platforms. However, we’re actively encouraging the community to create a third-party solution.

Regarding your first question, people only have the option to download games from your library on your file server.

Now, in response to the second question: We are certainly exploring the idea of federalization in the future. Meaning connecting to multiple servers simultaneously or connecting different servers together. However, it might be something we offer as a special feature for our supporters, as implementing it can be quite challenging.

Hang on a sec, I nearly spewed my half-finished iced tea after reading that! Who on earth mentioned Windows servers :D? Our backend is completely containerized and operates on Alpine Linux. You could even run the server on a toaster if you’re up for it!

Appreciate the kind feedback. So, regarding the slogan, we’ve actually grown quite fond of it. It doesn’t suggest piracy in any way; it simply refers to games from alternative sources, like your DVD collection or a developer’s website.

We’ll check Matrix out, and if we do bridge it, you’ll definitely hear about it in the blog :)
