Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)
This container-based release of the Steam Runtime is enabled on a per-title basis by forcing its use in the title's Properties dialog, and is used by default for native Linux games on Steam Deck.
For general information please see https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/container-runtime.md
Release notes

Development and debugging
See SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/README.md
for details of the container
runtime.
This additional layer uses a LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-based Steam Runtime to
provide the required libraries for the Steam Runtime version 1 ABI.
By default, it will use the version in the Steam installation directory,
~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime
(normally this is the same as
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime
). You can use a different
version of Steam Runtime 1 'scout' by unpacking a steam-runtime.tar.xz
into the SteamLinuxRuntime/steam-runtime/
directory, so that you have
files like SteamLinuxRuntime/steam-runtime/run.sh
.
If you have SteamLinuxRuntime
and SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier
installed
in the same Steam library, you can use run-in-scout-on-soldier
to test
commands in the scout-on-soldier environment, for example:
.../steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime/run-in-scout-on-soldier -- xterm
Please see https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/distro-assumptions.md for details of assumptions made about the host operating system, and some advice on debugging the container runtime on new Linux distributions.
Game developers who are interested in targeting this environment should check the SDK documentation https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/scout/sdk and general information for game developers https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/slr-for-game-developers.md.
