 K900 | 64-bit Steam is live on stable channel for Windows | 12:39:03 |
 magic_rb | 2025 year of the 64-bit steam client | 12:55:45 |
| K900 | I sure hope it's 2026 tbh | 13:08:28 |
| K900 | I don't want to fix this over new year's break | 13:08:37 |
 bandithedoge | wow, we might even get a wayland client by 2030! | 18:32:23 |
 Atemu | Then it will finally be the year of the Linux desktop! | 18:34:11 |

| bandithedoge | not a very high bar to clear | 22:52:09 |
| bandithedoge | is there a way to manage umu's steam runtime with nix? i don't like how it looks for updates on launch and downloads them whenever it wants | 23:23:16 |

not a very high bar to clear If it was only a video game catalog, but it does low latency screensharing with hw accelaration, voice calls, has a big picture mode capable of managing bluetooth devices, it's better to list your machines resources than hwprobe, it can even manage your sound sink volume, etc... | 01:30:14 |

 Sandro 🐧 | Is it the ubuntu12_64 directory? | 21:08:45 |
| 22 Dec 2025 |
| K900 | No, on Windows the main Steam process itself is now 64-bit | 00:19:05 |
| K900 | The _64 runtime is for CEF currently | 00:19:15 |
| Sandro 🐧 | but that is also kinda recentlish | 00:19:39 |
| Sandro 🐧 | it was not always there 😅 | 00:19:46 |
| K900 | Not particularly, it's been there for years now | 00:22:52 |
| K900 | They have a weird setup where steamwebhelper is 64-bit, but the core process is 32-bit | 00:23:39 |
| K900 | Presumably for security? | 00:23:39 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Not to better support 32 bit games | 00:26:00 |
| K900 | Definitely not because 32 bit games don't care what process is spawning them | 00:26:21 |
| Sandro 🐧 | spawning does not matter but maybe some kind of RPC stuff or so | 00:26:45 |
| Sandro 🐧 | or hookinh | 00:26:48 |
| Sandro 🐧 | * or hooking | 00:26:51 |
| Atemu | Does Chromium/CEF even support 32bit anymore? | 00:27:04 |
| Atemu | And I could also see this as them taking a first step towards 64bit in a relatively separate component. They're software people too; I don't doubt they'd really rather not target 32bit either. | 00:29:29 |
| K900 | I don't think it officially does no | 00:31:06 |
|  nakido set a profile picture. | 06:42:26 |
| nakido changed their display name from kido to nakido. | 06:50:40 |
