Valve have also updated the Steam beta client, and it brings in official Vulkan support plus some really handy Steam Controller adjustments.
The Steam Overlay has initial support for Vulkan, it may work, it may not. As usual for the beta client it's the first step towards it.
There are two Linux specific fixes:
Also some useful Steam Controller stuff:
I've tested the on-screen keyboard from the desktop, and it does bring up the keyboard if you click-in the left thumbstick, but I can't seem to get the input into any app. It also brings up the Steam client as soon as you hit done, which is a little annoying.

There are two Linux specific fixes:
QuoteAdded libvulkan, the Vulkan ICD loader, to the Steam Runtime
Fixed an issue where toggling the overlay in fullscreen games could sometimes result in a loss of keyboard and mouse input
Also some useful Steam Controller stuff:
QuoteOn-screen keyboard is now available from standard desktop mode without running Big Picture as minimized
Improved stability and window placement of desktop on-screen keyboard
Reduced size of desktop on-screen keyboard.
Added the ability to use other controllers alongside Steam Controllers. Games with XInput support will use whichever controller is active, other games will prefer alternate controllers when present.

The bad part of the update is that makes GRID: Autosport run at least for me in "background" only with the sounds of the videos and menu, in SteamOS killing the game is the only way of going back to steam menu and in Arch using it in windowed mode solves the problem.

Ah! I had the same effect (on Debian) and no idea where it came from, because I tried quite a lot to make my new Steam Controller work. Thanks for pointing out!

QuoteThanks for pointing out!You're welcome.
Since is affecting more than one distro some change in the steam client produced the problem with the game, I already have contacted feral to letting them know of the issue. Don't using the beta client also prevents the issue of occurring.

is someone else using Kodi via added library shortcut?
since that update kodi vanished for me and I can not add it again. There is no such entry in the list.
Even if I use an existing link in /usr/share/applications end change Exec=kodi (from for example: Exec:iceweasel), that iceweasel link vanishes as well. as if I can't use the kodi executable any more.
so wth?
