          Sorry, Flatpak

          I edited my original comment to contain some other system information and the logs.

              I haven’t tried any of the other versions in a while, mostly because it takes forever to install, but I can do that. I’ll point out that this issue has been going on for years, and I had issues with all variants of steam I’ve tried before.

              I’ll download steam a few other times from various package managers to see if any of them work now that some time has passed. In particular, I’ll try rpm-ostree layering, docker, and nix

              i’ll get back to you with the information when I’ve finished installing them

                Is this on one of Fedora’s images or on one of uBlue’s images? Regardless, could you specify what exactly we’re dealing with?

                    Thanks for the clarification! We actually run very similar systems; I’m on the hardened Bluefin-dx image as per secureblue.

                    Regarding Steam, Bazzite -one of Bluefin’s uBlue siblings- actually switched over to RPM Fusion’s Steam due to issues with the Flatpak.

                    I don’t know what exactly is the way to go for you. But I can suggest the following possibilities (from own experience):

                    • Install RPM Fusion’s Steam through layering with rpm-ostree.
                    • Use Steam bundled with Bazzite- Arch; this is what Bazzite used to use in the past.
                    • Or (very unconventional) use the Steam bundled with Conty.
