Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

    Linux is good, the core OS has been great for a long long time (decades). It’s just the desktop environment situation that has sucked, and, of course, gaming before proton.

    If you want to play games Bazzite actually does work pretty well. I went back to Fedora though and I literally spent hours trying to fix issues with just the Steam flatpak (it was overwriting my controller mappings every open). If you’re a gamer just stick with Bazzite.

    I think I’m destined to for NixOS though, as my least favourite thing about linux is doing sudo fooctl enable bloopblorp and having no clear log/information about what exact state the system is in.

        Then why is it a flatpak?

        And it was a terrible idea, but on atomic distros it’s that or adding it to the os tree.

          Fedora is not an atomic distribution. I use fedora and I have Steam, it works.

          Then why is it a flatpak?

          I don’t know, I imagine there is some use case. The fact that a flatpak for a software exists does not mean that flatpak is the best installation option.

      You should install Steam on your distro’s native package manager, it’s always better than flatpak since it doesn’t have to deal with file permissions.

      I had issues with the steam flatpak, but installing it directly works. Same thing happened with slack and my browser.
