Introducing early access to the Steam snap! — It’s time to do a call for testing on a new Steam snap which brings along everything you need to run Steam games via proton or, of course, native Linux games. Since this is an early access snap, expect there to be bugs and gaps, which we need assistance in identifying. We will iterate quickly, and respond to this feedback.
It looks like the trigger was pulled too fast on this. Running the latest snapd, and the steam-support socket is missing.
