  • A minor problem I ran into was Steam not creating shortcuts for games. I learned that this was because the flatpak version is siloed. Installing it “normally” solved this problem. I had already downloaded some games but was able to move them from the original folder in /var to the new one in /home.

    I just made a symlink from ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/Desktop/ inside ~/.local/share/applications/. Name it what you want, I named mine “steam-games”. Then Desktop launchers will/should recognize all the installed games.

    Then there shouldn’t be an issue launching games directly, with Steam installed via Flatpak. I have been running Steam via Flatpak on two generations of PCs since 2020 and it’s been working great. ✌️













  • Can’t remember any acts of kindness towards me. Only shit I do myself on a daily basis unto others, like oh I dunno, signal my turns, hold doors for people, say hello to someone who looks like they might need some human interaction. Stuff that should be commonplace, but people live in their asshat bubbles thinking about their own asshat lives instead of being just a little bit decent toward the rest of us asshats.

    Goddammit. It’s not hard.
