Steam gets all my gaming budget, as I really try to stick to Linux.

If it ain't on steam, I don't play it, and they don't get my money.

How does it feel to rent your games from Valve?

I prefer it to renting from Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Epic and Ubisoft.

And prefer not having to haul a library of physical media with me everywhere at the minuscule risk of losing access to said games.

weird you are fine with Steam, but Epic has the exact same format and it's a problem.

The Epic launcher is an unmitigated disaster that has barely improved in library management capabilities since it launched. I'm not sure if they fixed it but last I used it you literally could not see the download size of the game you're downloading and the controls for changing the queues are non-existent. The launcher is also the biggest resource hog of them all beating Origin and UPlay which is an achievement in itself. I am not wading through how troublesome it is to use what should be a fairly well featured launcher after 4 years of launch to support a "competitor". Discoverability on the store is also awful when Steam has been working on this space for over a decade to try and highlight indies. The reviews system is also incredibly inferior.

If I have to use some third party launcher to make up for what it lacks, I might as well use steam

They also took years to add a shopping cart.
