    Personally I think I should highlight these changes that as a Linux gamer make me quite happy :

    Shader Pre-Caching
    Re-worked the shader system to enable downloading and pre-compiling of the whole collection of Vulkan pipelines for a given game. As a result, shader data downloads will now show in the Steam download manager. Pre-compiling will be enabled in a future Beta build.

    Linux
    Improved the client's responsiveness to network changes
    Added support for removing old Proton versions by aliasing them to more recent ones
    Added support for developers and Valve testing specifying default Proton configuration options for games even if they're not yet white-listed

    The coolest part about this update, in my opinion, is steam finally opening up their streaming solution to wan. It was always possible, since the steam link app allowed you to input your IP address, and if you had the correct ports forwarded it would work. Now you can do the same thing on PC without needing to use a VPN workaround.
