I do not play games. I quietly celebrate each time my Linux-certified Fedora laptop successfully wakes up from sleep.
What distro was this on?
Installing Steam breaking GNOME sounds wild.
I'm sorry but "Steam broke Gnome" makes no sense. This is like the person who says they installed Firefox and it broke the internet.
Then I rebooted my system and found that Steam had broken Gnome and I couldn't log in and had to go into safe mode and debug from the command line. 1 hour in, 1 thing installed.
I'll try again in 10 years.
