Another new stable Steam-Client (01.04.2025) has been released for Linux.

Changelog Linux/Desktop client:

Steam Client Update - April 1st
Edit: This update was rereleased on April 1st to fix a display issue on game details page for games with queued updates.

A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded.

General

Fixed brief layout shift of elements (one or two frames) when navigating back to the library section.
Fixed Steam Client window focusing multiple times on startup.
Fixed Update News window being covered by Steam Client window at startup.
Fixed notifications displaying in wrong position in some games.
Fixed some instances where windows fail to render after display events.
Fixed game content switching from private beta to default branch in some cases
Fixed child accounts in a family getting additional playtime after switching to offline mode.
Fixed in-game friends sometimes not showing up in the "Friends Who Play" section of the game details page.
Improved accuracy of download progress and time estimates. Accuracy will improve over the course of more downloads.
Improved consistency and clarity of download/install/update UI:
Byte counts, when displayed, refer to the number of bytes to download.
Progress bars and percentages, when displayed, refer to the total progress of the install/update, which includes work before, after, and during the download. The exception is the top (blue) progress bar on the downloads page, which shows the bytes downloaded.
Time remaining estimates refer to the total progress of the install/update. These estimates will be very rough at first but will become more accurate as Steam learns more about the performance of the user's network and disks.
