A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Because it's not "just a fancy interface"?
It makes the entire process from purchase to playing completely painless, on top of a large community of people, guides, achievements, etc. I think I'd maybe improve my performance by like...a fraction of a frame per second. Good trade off.
And as others have mentioned, Lutris does a good job if you don't want steam.
