What about mesa drivers and other dependencies like Mangohud?

My understanding is the Mesa driver is userland so Flatpaks can include it. I just assumed Steam would include it for slower moving distros.

I am new to Flatpaks and still trying to understand, any correction is welcome.

Makes sense, I was wondering how that worked when I saw some of those in my list. Is that another layer to the flatpak, like a Docker layer or are Flatpaks allowed out of their sandboxes to talk to other Flatpaks?

Great tip. It looks like the Flatpak has a newer version then even Tumbleweed, so that answers my initial question, thanks!

What distro are you on?

million,

The Flatpak is probably going to move faster but the trade off is it is harder to configure some things until you get a handle on Flatpaks.

Up to you ultimately.

Nice! I imagine it doesn’t work with Firefox sync though?

Wayland + KDE

Basically :)

I am tempted to wait as I should be getting Plasma 6 soonish (on Tumbleweed)

Really enjoying Tumbleweed so far. The extra testing cycle they do versus Arch has a measurable effect on stability and need to fiddle with things after a routine system upgrade.

The game is under Steam proton, so I would expect that to use Wayland; unless all that stuff is XWayland?

Good suggestion; haven’t dived into the world of Gamescope yet.

Good to know, thanks for the clarification.

What menu are you referring to? An in game one?

While I am enjoying my time with KDE I’ve always been more at home in Gnome. Hoping promotion of this from experimental to mainstream and HDR support are fast follows. I’d love to have another viable DE for gaming.

Looks like it may be my DNS server getting flooded, see the thread at a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/comment/8057349.

Good suggestion, really appreciate the help.

Looks cool, don’t want to start using user repos for it though. Wish they had a Flatpak.

Installing Steam from BOTH package and Flathub? Any gotchas?

As the title says, I am looking to install both the package version (on OpenSuse Tumbleweed) and Flatpak version. I’ve been running the package version for awhile and it’s been fine but I want to play with the Flatpak version to see how that compares - partially because I may eventually go for an immutable distro....

Follow up, have both the Flatpak version and package steam up and running. Moved my game library to ~/Games/Steam. I added ~/Games/Steam:rw (and later ~/Games/Steam:create) to my Flatpak permissions and tried to install a game that already existed to make Flatpak Steam realize it was there, Steam instead gives me a “Disk Write Error”. Did you hit this at all, any idea what it may be?

EDIT: Fix it, or it magically fixed itself. I removed the Steam library and re-added it and that seemed to make it happy.

Thanks for the heads up. That’s a shitty limitation.
