It doesn't hurt for people to try to provide compatibility when the changes are minor though. It is nice to have the steam overlay around. Though, if things got bad enough I imagine I'd take the time to figure out how to just get Ubuntu+Steam working in a container. For binary packages sometimes it is easier to just go the path of least resistance. Though, when X11 is involved containers aren't always painless. -- Rich
