Rust (the game, not the language, you nerds) runs on Macs!?
But not on #Linux (I know why).
I wonder how many people play this game on a Mac 🤔
I used to play it on #Ubuntu quite a lot. Bit of a time-sink. So it's probably for the best that I don't play it anymore. It just baffled me that it's possible to download it. Not that I will, obviously 😇

Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap.
The best way to install Steam on Debian and derivative operating systems is to follow the instructions at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/#getting-started and use the official .deb
We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues.
If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version.
