Valve confirmed to the makers of the nvidia-PPAs for Ubuntu, what users of the current Beta-Nvidia-Driver 358.x for Linux do already know: the Beta-Driver is responsible for an unusual hight count of crashes when used within the Steam-Client.
Many users reported this already also on the Steam-Client Bug-Tracker, at Reddit and also at the Nvidia Linux-Forum.
Here is the official note from the Ubuntu “Graphics Drivers Team” team:
## ATTENTION STEAM GAMERS:
Valve has reported lots of crashers with `nvidia-358` and the steam client; we strongly recommend you use `nvidia-355` until Nvidia publishes new drivers.
