    Yes but the steam runtime is basically an entire Linux installation (that never gets updated) that valve drags onto your system. I found it greatly annoying when I wanted to use Steam Input (because that would make Nintendo Switch pro controllers work) on a laptop with 32 gb of storage and steam dragged along 4 gb of ubuntu that I was never going to touch (since I was playing games outside of steam using wine directly).
