14 DAY TRIAL // Valve has launched a new Beta version for its Steam for Linux client, fixing a lot of issues, including quite a few for the Linux platform.
When a development version garners sufficient changes, Valve promotes it to stable, and the work for the next beta starts almost immediately.
According to the changelog, Valve has fixed an overlay crash on non-Steam app shutdown, a Steam crash on systems with no USB support, game shortcut names for titles with non-ASCII letters in the name, and a few Big Picture crashes that occurred when playing YouTube videos.
More details about this latest release can be found in the official announcement. Download the Steam for Linux installer from Softpedia.
Keep in mind that this is the Beta version of Steam and some bugs might still exist.
