…0 Sniper (except where otherwise noted) When running Linux games through Steam, unless you override this behavior as a user by enabling the legacy Linux runtime, you must specify the major version of your SOs. If you don't, SDL will fail to find them at runtime, and you'll get a no video device found error. I cross referenced these versions with those that happened to be on my system, and unsurprisingly Valve made reasonable choices here, so these are good defaults whether you're shipping your game on Steam or not. Also fixes libxss which was pointing to libx11 by mistake.
