Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1::Customers sticking to the good-old (and dead) Windows 7 now have one more reason to ditch the operating system: as of January 1, 2024, Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

Why does it matter if Steam uses Chromium on Linux. It's not like Gecko dropped embed support or anything

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

The alternative to Chromium-based apps is not Gecko-based apps; it is native apps, that do not require an entire bloated web engine to run.

This is especially obnoxious with Steam since it wants to run in the background 24/7.
