Finally! Now I can switch back to the "normal" Steam Beta build for other experimental features, Steam Family was on a separate beta build which didn't allow me to try other things...

The family beta had weird issues on Linux (Gnome/Wayland) until recently too so I'm glad to see this getting a full release.

I've been on it for a while (on Garuda, no Gnome) and it's been stable. I don't recall any issues. Maybe I just got lucky.

It's fixed now. But flatpak steam on gnome/Wayland would display a black screen on the store when opted into the family beta for a while. Stable was unaffected.

Ah, flatpak. That might be the difference.
