Steam for Linux

Any ETA for the 64-bit steam client for Linux?
Title. That'd -REALLY- help me a lot over here, and even make me willing to buy some indie games.

t. Currently trying to game on a Orange pi 5 MAX.

Dude, you're missing an important thing... It is not being 64 bits or 32 bits that is making it difficult... Orange Pi 5 is ARM architecture... Not i386/x86_64... Two different things...

Do you happen to know the release date for the 128 bit Client or maybe Steam for Quantum Computers?

Asking for a friend.

A Steam client for arm64 wouldn't help you. All the games still require a processor with x86_64 architecture. You can use qemu to emulate x86_64 on arm64 (including the Steam client) but your games will be entirely unplayable at <1fps.

These simple circuit boards are quite efficient.
You can easily make a display board showing the next bus stop from them, opening the blinds in the windows, heating water in the boiler in advance, router, nas. This is small and can be pushed into the vacuum cleaner or the keyboard.
Power can be supplied via a lan cable.
Great equipment, an excellent tool that has given a boost to small companies in creating small series of very useful devices.

Thats some insane hyperbole. People have already played Valve games on old cell phones they put Ubuntu on, Ran GTA5 on pixel 8 phones, and even installed Ubuntu on a switch to play Titanfall 2.

1fps? Doubt.

Also why QEMU? Did you not know box86 and box64 are things?

"With DynaRec for ARM64, RV64 and LA64 platforms, Box64 achieves a speed boost 5-10x faster than the interpreter alone."

Okay, I give you 5-10fps then. Have fun. It has a Mali-G610 MC4 and runs Fortnite at ~40fps. Maybe you can play Half Life 2 on it. Anything more recent will be very slow.
