    Steam already runs games in a form of container (pressure vessel) in Linux, it’s quite secure.

    Also, in this day an age, anybody that is conscious or security plays games in a dedicated machine…

    Edit: for those downvoting me and saying that Steam games in Linux are not containenarized and more secure, go read https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/tree/main/pressure-vessel which is the basis of Proton and sandboxed, since like 10 years…

      Steam does not run games in a container at all… Are you talking about Proton?

      It really just seems like you have no idea what you’re talking about.

      Best of luck to you.

        incredible how you are so dismissive, but actually is you that has no idea. Steam in Linux runs Proton, Proton runs pressure-vessel as I said in my first message, which uses its own container runtime, akin to other Linux container runtimes, using cgroups etc, which provides the security sandboxing…
