Приложение хорошее как платформа. Для Linux Mint требует танцев с бубном для первого запуска, но всё это окупается по итогу. К сожалению команда Steam не очень приятная, или просто мне такие попадались на протяжении длительного времени.
I kept track, I had to type my password 13 times on LMDE to complete the install. It did work though. Edit: It worked exactly once. Now it refuses to start. Running with "flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam" to see what's going on gives tons of errors.
Muy buena app para descargar juegos nativos de linux y muchos juegos de Windows en linux a traves de proton...Es Exelente
I would normally be ok with community pack, but I had a problem, that I could not find valid nor detailed information about on ze inzernet. After successfull installation, while re-launching Steam from Panel (pinned it there at the first launch auto-started by installation) the tool just kept flashing, like opening/closing in an endless loop. I had to 'kill' it from the tray. Only workaround was to right licking the panel icon and selecting 'settings'.
Unlike the repository version, whose quality varies, Flatpak works consistently across all distributions and with each update. Additionally, if you have an AMD graphics card, Flatpak allows you to have the latest Mesa without compromising the stability of your system.Also Flatpak is easier to completely uninstall and reinstall in case of issues, whereas native packages create directories and scatter files everywhere. The only drawback is the user rights management for those who have multiple storage locations for their games. Use Flatseal for that.
This flatpak works perfectly for me, maybe it has been improved since the last review. To change filesystem permissions use flatseal or flatpak override
Flathub version Works ok for linux native games. Cannot get Proton games to launch at all
The normal package version is great. The flatpak version was borked for me LM20.2Edge. All of these games worked with the normal package but failed with the flatpak. Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Deadspace, 7 Days to Die, Valheim. Also, I didn't try these games on flatpak Steam but on normal Steam they also worked: Far Cry 5, Bioshock Remastered, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Cold Waters. So, if flatpak doesn't work for you, remove it and re-install the normal package and give it a try.
Whenever I try to launch this flatpak version of steam, I get an error message that says, "Couldn't set up the Steam RUntime. Are you running low on disk space? Continuing..." and then says "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam my not run: libgtk-x11-2.0.so0 libbz2.so.1.0"
Can't use steam on Mint, hangs up doing update. Says no internet connection. fine on Ubuntu?
Only this version works for me. If you have problems with games not launching, than it is because of changes in Proton 5.13. You can change Proton version in Steam Settings/Steam Play to make everyting work again. Change it to 5.0.
Please enable access to other partitions than /, so I can add steam libraries on other parititions (eg. /mnt or /media). Also I can't find the link to the mentioned issue tracker. UPDATE: Flatseal can be used to set (filesystem-)permissions. Use "Other files" to permit access to folders (eg: /mnt/.../Games/Steam) or drives and add them to your steam-library.
As cdymrtn said in the previous comments, use this Flatpak version of the Steam client instead of the other versions in the Mint Software Manager. The other versions crash consistently.
Make sure to use the flatpak version over the one in the repos, literally couldn't get any game from the repo version to work with proton.
Estável e funcional, equipara-se até mesmo com clientes nativos de repositórios tradicionais. Recomendo.
