Valve Pushes Out Big Steam Beta Update, Linux Changes & Steam Remote Play

Valve issued a new Steam beta release that contains a lot of changes across the board, including Linux.

This Steam beta update has a number of Steam overlay fixes, Steam In-Home Streaming is now experimentally available "outside of the home" as Steam Remote Play, a variety of Steam Input improvements, a reworked shader system to allow downloading/pre-compiling a whole set of Vulkan pipelines for a given game, and various other fixes.

On the Linux front specifically, there is a fix that was causing Steam to crash randomly when launching games, improved responsiveness on networking changes, support for removing old Proton versions, and other work.
