Pardon me if I am asking silly questions, but I seem to not be as knowledgeable as many of the people this far down the Linux rabbit-hole.
Does steam require SystemD, elogind or any of the other malicious elements that freedom-loving individuals such as myself loath? I understand that Steam itself is closed-source consumerist nonsense, but I just don't think I can be enough of a zealot to give up my Steam library lol.
I activate the 32bit repositories and install Steam as you would expect, but I get many errors and it gets stuck on "Connecting to Steam Account: [USERNAME]".
Of course, thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Again, sorry if this is a dumb question, I could not find any good information on the subject on the Forum or on a web search.
My output is as such:
