Why some apps appear twice in the dock?
It's this bug https://github.com/elementary/dock/issues/64 I proposed a workaround for Caprine in https://github.com/flathub/com.sindresorhus.Caprine/pull/5

How to change indicator color in Dock/Plank?
Well https://github.com/elementary/dock/pull/61 did get me closer, but sadly the indicators are flat - really just wanted the monochromatic dots like in the pics.

Is the flatpak version of Steam as good? What about Proton?
Once 1.12 is out, open an issue at https://github.com/elementary/os-patches asking for us to backport it. We're already carrying a newer version than Ubuntu 20.04, so it wouldn't be too much of a big deal to update to 1.12 if it's possible and there's a good case for it.
