Valve officially leaves ubuntu without steam support

Ubuntu's commitment to stop supporting and creating 32-bit packages as of version 19.10. it is something that generates a stir. In addition to posing a problem for them. It has been announced that Valve will not be supporting Steam on Ubuntu 19.10. There have been talks between the two companies, but they have not come to fruition in this regard.

Valve leaves Ubuntu unsupported for Steam

So your plans to solve the library removal problem have not come to fruition. For users it will be a problem, although solutions are being worked on.

Unsupported

This failure in the negotiations means that Steam is no longer compatible with Ubuntu. It supposes that in a few weeks they are left without the support of two major companies, with Wine being the other company that has already announced that they are no longer supporting it. The reasons have been similar in the two cases, since the safety of users cannot be guaranteed. Since many of the updates are not available in 32 bits.

What we do not know is whether Ubuntu has any intention of backing down on this decision. The response of many companies has been immediate, in any case ceasing to provide support. So for them it is a serious problem.

We will have to see what happens these weeks. Valve already makes it clear that Steam will not have such support. Although they seek to minimize this problem for users, looking for solutions. There is currently no confirmed solution, but we hope to hear from you soon.
