Steam client version (build number or date): Built Mar 31 2022, at 23:11:43
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
I noticed a weird behaviour a while ago, sometimes Steam client starts constantly writing something to disk, around 1 Mb/s and that is not acceptable for a SSD disk. Having looked around i found that the offending write operations rewrite ~/.steam/registry.vdf
There are copies of the file appearing with a hash at the end of the name, and disappearing in a flash.
