I was going to going to ask this question because Steam Flatpak was listed as last being updated May 2023, but they just updated it yesterday. That’s still about 9 month between updates....
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?
I’ve done some Googling on this topic and some folks are saying it should just work and that distro I am on, OpenSuse, used to patch Firefox with support for global menus or that the Plasma extension should give you support but I haven’t been able to get anything to work....
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.
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.
Weirdest damn thing, occasionally my network connectivity was being lost. Not the wifi signal, but just the route to the internet. I finally realized today it happens whenever I do a fresh boot (i.e. first time after system boot) of Heroic Games Launcher....
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.
How up to date is the Steam Flatpak?

State of global menu support under KDE Plasma?

Mangohud works really great for this inside a game, but outside of that I am not sure what to turn to check temps at idle....
