SLR 4.0 is now the recommended runtime for new games, so we hope that its usage will now increase faster than SLR 3.0's. SLR 3.0 is an intermediate version for games that haven't made the jump to 4.0, and SLR 1.0 is for older games that haven't been updated to one of the newer versions. Adjust the wording here accordingly. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@collabora.com>
Since 2026-03-17, Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (`SteamLinuxRuntime`) contains its own copy of the scout libraries, which it uses instead of `~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime`. Similarly, the Legacy Steam Runtime compatibility tool (if installed) contains its own copy of those libraries. The original copy of scout in `~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime` is likely to be removed after the Steam Client no longer needs it, leaving those two scout-compatible compatibility tools as the two possible ways to run older native Linux games.

reporting-bugs: Adjust emphasis
SLR 4.0 is now the recommended runtime for new games, so we hope that
its usage will now increase faster than SLR 3.0's. SLR 3.0 is an
intermediate version for games that haven't made the jump to 4.0,
and SLR 1.0 is for older games that haven't been updated to
one of the newer versions. Adjust the wording here accordingly.
reporting-bugs: Mention the versions of scout that might be relevant
Since 2026-03-17, Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (
SteamLinuxRuntime)contains its own copy of the scout libraries, which it uses instead of
~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.Similarly, the Legacy Steam Runtime compatibility tool (if installed)
contains its own copy of those libraries.
The original copy of scout in
~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtimeis likely to be removed after the Steam Client no longer needs it,
leaving those two scout-compatible compatibility tools as the two
possible ways to run older native Linux games.
