I love what Valve have done for GNU/Linux, but you have to admit that the Steam software itself is a bit of a janky mess.

Aha. Yes. It has room for improvement for sure. You should just say that instead.

I mean, the original point stands as written though. The ENTIRE friends/overlay revamp served no purpose other than looking prettier, and it’s still broken for a lot of setups. When I try to chat from overlay, it minimizes my game and opens a desktop chat window EVERY TIME. For a lot of games the overlay just doesn’t work at all. And that’s not even getting into the issues with the main interface. There’s a LOT of room for improvement.
