Strange. I run Steam games just dandy on Debian Sid with little to no hassle. The Steam runtime provides a base platform with libraries to build against, which cuts down on the library rot and version mismatches that plagued proprietary gaming on pre-Steam Linux, and I find that gaming on Linux using steam now fits roughly in the 'just works' ballpark.

Sure, I'm technically on my own support-wise, but game devs haven't yet rebuffed me for not having the right OS (I submitted a bug report yesterday for Life is Strange - a GPU issue, not an OS one, and pointing out my OS - and got an encouraging reply from Feral today).
