This is good
and
I wish it was easier to manage multiple steam account on a single computer because some of us have more family than devices
There is actually a way to quickly switch accounts now.
It seems easier these days than it was back in the old times. Four of us in the family hopping around on 2 desktops and 2 old laptops. Pretty fluid! Not sure if you're experiencing something specific?
I was also using the heck out of the 'local fire share' feature in steam, i only had to download Ark survival evolved (128gb!)1 time!
What I would really like is to be able sign on to my windows account and then log into steam as me without typing in another password BUT the kids can't log into steam and then switch to my account because they don't have my password and they're not signed in to Windows as me.
These changes are great although on a slightly unrelated note. I can sort of understand why they don't allow you to do it but it'd be nice if I could play something on my Deck while playing something on my PC too. Sometimes I'm just idling waiting for friends in a game and want to pass the time. I know you can just switch off Wi-Fi in the Deck to do that but it is still mildly annoying.
