Completely irrelevant ofc that the Steam Client is much more than a glorified game shortcut collection with a shop.

    I've had it where my Linux machine boos too fast and I see a red mark fly by in the sea of green check marks. So then I have to go check boot log because display was too fast to read on startup

    Indeed. Steam client is an Electron app that can display advertisements, too.
