It is nice to have the steam overlay around. Though, if things got |
| 19 |
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 |
| 21 |
is easier to just go the path of least resistance. Though, when X11 |
| 22 |
is involved containers aren't always painless. |
