I absolutely love the new UI. It’s so responsive and modern, and for the most part, consistent.

I've been on the Beta for awhile and it's so much better than what Steam used to be.
Desktop launcher finally looks modern. I'm liking it. Haven't had a chance to try out the notes feature. But, I'm guessing it remembers for each game?
Yeah I tested it and it looks like it's game specific.
Not so sure about the UI overhaul, but I do like the notes feature. I can see it being a very handy way for me to remember what I'm doing, especially if it syncs between my desktop and my Steam Deck.
Does it actually sync like that??
I just tested it and it turns out notes do sync.
Consistency from Steam Deck to PC makes a lot of sense and means features can come to everywhere at once.
Given how everything else syncs fairly well I can't imagine it wouldn't Very useful feature to be sure
I didn't have any strong feeling about Steam but I do have to say the desktop performance is snappier.
This looks great. For sure a shock when I first saw it but I think it’s just enough of a change to make it feel fresh. Then the  features seem dope. I usually don’t use the overlay but I might now.
This version is constantly freezing up for me. I click two buttons only for it to freeze for 10 seconds.
Maybe time for an integrity check or reinstall. Big updates like this can fudge things up
I wonder if we’ll get something like this on the deck eventually edit: oh hell yea it is on the deck
Yep, that was a big bullet point, the groundwork to share code between every Steam flavor.
That's great, I'd like to switch off beta as the in-game overlay has been crashing frequently.
I still miss steam skins, but these changes look a lot better than before.
