Hi I've been recently using the steam flatpak instead of the rpm package from the rpm fusion repos here on fedora 38. Everything has been going swell except one thing. I have two drives with steam libraries on them other than the default one steam creates. I can add these through the storage manager but when I restart my computer steam often but not always forgets them. Meaning most of the time when I boot my computer I have to go into the storage manager in steam and re-select the library folders and then it remembers my installed games. I've already had an issue open on the github for the steam flatpak but alas nothing yet https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/1075. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if anyone knows how I could remedy this so the drives are there on boot. I did get two other people with the issue on github but no solutions.

Try the Flatpak one.

I recently updated from Fedora Silverblue 36 to 38, and now Japanese fonts are no longer working properly in multiple apps. Before, they would display correctly, but now I get rectangles instead of the proper characters. Examples of affected apps are Steam and Lifeograph (both installed via Flatpak).

Here's the actual thread in case you're interested.

The "Metaverse" is a complete joke, and among gamers, Valve has a way better reputation than Meta. Why would they want to dilute that brand?

They already have their own platform (Steam), OS (SteamOS), VR headset (Index), their own Windows translation layer (Proton, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton), their own partnership with cloud gaming (Steam Cloud Play using GeForce Now , https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/cloudgaming), etc.

IMO: As someone with thousands of games on Steam, there's no way in hell I'd want that linked to Facebook. I think they eventually removed the requirement to have a FB account to use a Quest, but they still require a Meta account. Yuck.

This reeks of Facebook recognizing the Metaverse as the failure that it was and opening it up because it's no longer relevant...

Or Valve's Proton[0], a tool for playing Windows games on Linux.

Did you mount it with the correct flags?

there is a hack to try and use your existing windows game install from an NTFS drive, but i don't recommend it as steam will try to save file names that are not allowed on NTFS...plus ext4 is faster.

From a quick search, here's what I found. It looks like you're encountering some common issues that can occur with games running on Linux through Proton, especially with the recent updates to games like Satisfactory that might affect compatibility. The log entries you're seeing related to D3DCompile2 failing to compile shader and the issues with Ternary operator and LinearToSrgbBranching not being defined, suggest that there's a problem with shader compilation. This can often be related to the version of Proton or the graphics drivers you are using. Some users have reported that the game does launch with the -vulkan option but with graphical glitches and lower performance, which indicates that the Vulkan renderer is working but possibly not optimally on your setup. From the discussions in the community, users have suggested ensuring that the latest drivers for your graphics card are installed and, if using an Intel GPU, that the Mesa drivers are up to date since Intel XeSS references were found in the logs. If you're using NVIDIA graphics, make sure you have the latest drivers and possibly set the PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% to enable DLSS if you're under Vulkan. If you're using an Optimus laptop with both Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, make sure your Optimus setup is correctly configured. Some users have found success by specifying DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAMES=GeForce to force the game to use the NVIDIA GPU. It's also worth noting that if you're encountering issues with DirectX 11, you might want to try forcing the game to use DirectX 10 if possible or look into DXVK configurations that could resolve compatibility issues. Lastly, if none of these solutions work, you could try running a trace with apitrace to gather more detailed logs that might point to the specific issue. If you're still stuck, it would be a good idea to report the issue to the Proton GitHub page or seek further assistance in the game's community forums where others might have encountered and solved similar issues. For more information and to find others who might have resolved similar issues, check out the community discussions on GitHub​​, Steam Community​​, and the DXVK GitHub page​​.
