Just updated. Wow. I really like the new look, and it feels much snappier and more responsive.

Always love to see Linux grow

I look forward to trying this out later

Fantastic news! thanks
beware NVIDIA tho:
However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash. As such, hardware acceleration will be disabled by default for NVIDIA systems. In addition, Valve says that DPI scaling may not work correctly when hardware acceleration is disabled.

I know, but it's progress none the less. At this point, I'd be nearly insane to expect this to work with NVIDIA out the gate :/

Nvidia strikes again. :)
That was literally my first day experience with new Steam client. :)
I enabled hardware acceleration and it ended up using all of the GPU memory in a relatively short time.
