#UBUNTU DOWNLOAD 32BIT DRIVER#

We've been investigating ways to avoid these system dependencies for a while now, by looking into light containerization and other approaches.

To that effect, Steam already bundles a lot of the dependencies needed by 32-bit games, but it currently relies on some key components being available on the host system: a 32-bit glibc, ELF loader, Mesa and NVIDIA graphics driver libraries, to name a few. Ensuring that all games a user owns remain fully playable wherever possible is a core principle of Steam, and we don't believe any solution that arbitrarily splits a user's library would be acceptable. Enabling the Steam client to run in pure 64-bit environments, while feasible, would leave the vast majority of the current Steam library inaccessible to such users without an additional compatibility layer. To provide some background, support for 32-bit libraries is required in order to run not only the Steam client, but also the thousands of games available on Steam that only support 32-bit environments. That being said, we don't think it's an especially positive move for Steam and gaming-oriented customers who rely on this support. We don't think it is unreasonable that they would want to take steps that are in the best interests of the project. As the Ubuntu project indicated, they let us know of their intent and walked us through the details earlier this month, which was much appreciated. Following that announcement, we made a statement that Ubuntu 19.10 wouldn't be officially supported or recommended to our users going forward. For those not in the loop, last week the Ubuntu project announced their intent to change how they're approaching 32-bit library support for future Ubuntu versions.
