Steam Client Now Lets You Enable Hardware Acceleration on Linux
The new stable Steam Client update is a major one bringing a fresh new look with modern design elements (dialogs, menus, fonts, and colors), richer notifications, overhauled in-game overlay, updated screenshot manager, new pinning and notes functionality, and a completely revamped Settings dialog.
Linux gamers will be happy to learn that this update makes it possible to enable hardware acceleration on the Steam Client, which finally brings it up to par with the Windows version. When hardware acceleration is enabled in Settings > Interface, you’ll notice snappier animations, scrolling, and a more responsive UI overall.
