Steam for Linux has been officially released for a while now, but the development on the beta branch continues and Valve is adding more features and fixes.

Highlights of Steam for Linux Beta:

• The web page load indicator has been fixed; • steam://flushconfig URL command has been added, which clears the local Steam client configuration; • The runtime has been updated with the final SDL 2.0 ABI; • Ensure Big Picture Mode window regains focus after a game quits; • Don't show new driver popup when in Big Picture Mode; • Made assertion uploads asynchronous, which keeps Steam responsive while it uploads assertion data.

Check the official announcement for more details about this important release. Keep in mind that this is a beta version and bugs are bound to appear.
