One would hope for an official .deb or at least an .appimage release, pretty, pretty, please?!

And true to that spirit I shouted my rejection of it into the world, that my words may become real, and it shall not define me in any way shape or form henceforth. ;-)

Is DE bashing considered a hobby by now? Really boring.
I really like gnome shell but usually prefer alternative applications to stuff like Nautilus(?Files?), Evolution, etc. I'm currently on KDE, but maybe I'll switch back to gnome, soon :)
Nope, I was just sharing my feelings when exposed to it - someone told me it's all about the feels these days ;-). Was not supposed to have an influence on your opinion. Feel free to like whatever you do, but be aware that, you liking it, does not mean it can not anger or confuse me.

Valve rolls out big Steam client update with new Downloads Page & Storage Management
11 September 2021 at 2:08 am UTC

Quoting: x4mer
Quoting: SchattenspiegelInteresting: with SSD + HDD(raid0) ~ 1 minute
with SSD only ~ 12 seconds
to load the client.
Edit:
And for reasons unknown the loading time stays at 12 second after remounting the HDDs even after rebooting
Thank you very much! I would never have tried that.

HDD went to sleep and motor powered down? When remounting, the drive would be woken up.

nope: I had the slow start problem for quite a few months now (one of the Steam patches). Neither library repair, changing between beta and stable client nor removal/addition of the Steam-libraries was able to fix it. It seems starting Steam with HDD (containing one of the libraries) unmounted caused some configuration file to be rewritten which fixed the problem.

Might be raw single core power. Whatever it does the first minute or so it only seems to utilize one core at a time.

I've got below 10 seconds I think. My processor (Ryzen 3700X is it) cannot be that stronger. :D
well, core2quad here with 2.66 GHz so, yes, it hopefully is otherwise I will never have a reason to upgrade ;-)
We managed to solve the issue (see above) and I am now down to ~12 seconds.

Quoting: BielFPsProbably the bottleneck cause is steam reading the games in your hd when it opens, so it takes more time to read them all before open the client itself.

Once you removed your hd, the client only read the games from ssd (which is way faster) then it doesn't have the bottleneck.
see edit above^^ It does not really seem to be a bottleneck but something must have been broken somewhere

If you disconnect your hd, does it start faster?
