yes the linux client sucks... bu the OTHER linux client (i.e. Android) works beautifully. Which is why I cant wait for things like RemixOS or Intel's Android Linux [1]. With predictions that mobile chips will approach PS4 performance in 2017 [2], I cant help but wonder again if Valve made a colossal mistake in not basing SteamOS on desktop android.
