I'm really annoyed that the Steam launcher doesn't close automatically after I start playing a game. I want to keep the client running but have the launcher itself disappear after a few seconds. Is there a way to set this up? Also, I'm using Fedora 43 for reference!

Are you looking to just minimize the launcher, or actually terminate it? Usually, when you exit Steam, the game closes too, but that might not be what you want.
I think this is set up that way due to DRM requirements, so it might not be super straightforward.
Have you tried adding a kill command after launching your game? That could be a quick way to automate closing the launcher.
I actually want to completely kill the Steam launcher after a few seconds while keeping the client active for gaming.
