How to enable Hardware Acceleration for Intel drivers?
I wasn't convinced, so I dug through some Github issues until I found this one h624 support for GM45 - issue #544, in which someone mentioned that the crocus driver supports VAAPI but several people mentioned that it seems like h264 decoding doesn't work.

libva breaks stuff on debian 11
i965-va-driver is dead and no longer maintained by Intel. Version 2.4.1 is the last release of that driver (see https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver/releases).

Firefox Fedora don't utilize the HW acceleration
libva-intel-driver didn't work for me, but installing intel-media-driver from nonfree rpm-fusion seemed to do the trick. leaving this here for anyone with the same issue.

How to get HW acceleration working?
And I have already complied and install tar ball from https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver. So, libva-driver-intel is trying to install this right?
-
Zypper - again .. Does not respect "--from"?
In general, Vaapi stuff is really hard to get running. Theres a bunch of different drivers per vendor and different (package-)names for the same thing in different distros, most tutorials dont even mention the GPU theyre using and point to other drivers .. Its a mess really. For example if you google Intel Vaapi the first result is: https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver. Which is the wrong one. Of course if would be to comfortable for them to mention the supported models in their readme. I have an Intel RKL GPU so I need intel-media-driver, found that out through trial and error.

Flathub just hit 1 billion total downloads
And not only that, the idea of portals is, IMO, misguided. See this view/bugreport when a flatseal user understands that even though they restricted permissions to access a certain area, the flatpak, itself, can ask to open files there and if OK'd that will be allowed. Their expectation is that with the overrides say "no access" it means "no access even if the flatpak asks very nicely". https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196

Mount a drive correctly in opensuse
Since you installed the programme via Flatpak, you should simply lack the necessary rights (https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html). You can extend the rights quite easily with https://github.com/tchx84/flatseal.

Where to file bug reports about "portals" ?
Yes, filed https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196 a while ago, got no joy.

Flatpak or tarball?
One design feature than can turn into an issue in some scenarios (usually dev tools) is the permissions of a flatpak. In case I need to tweak things, I use Flatseal. I know you can manually do this from the command line but I don’t change permissions that often so I don’t bother learning how to do that.

So Ive bit the bullet.. and bought a steam deck and have a few questions
https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal (Also on Discover. For security reasons, the Discover store installs apps as sandboxed "flatpak" apps. This one is used to view what each up can do and change the permissions of apps. May be required if the sandboxing breaks something, though usually not required.)

How secure is Steam's sandbox in terms of reading contents in $HOME ?
I believe it does. As an example if I try running Godot from the Steam flatpak, it won't be able to see any of the contents of my ~/Projects folder unless I explicitly allow the steam flatpak access to that directory that via flatpak's CLI options or using Flatseal
What are some alternatives?
When comparing intel-vaapi-driver and Flatseal you can also consider the following projects:
FFmpeg - Mirror of https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
firejail - Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf sandbox
mesa
wslg - Enabling the Windows Subsystem for Linux to include support for Wayland and X server related scenarios
mpv - 🎥 Command line video player
apparmor-profile-everything - deprecated - maybe replaced by: `apparmor.d`
fedy - Fedy makes it easy to install third-party software in Fedora.
argos-translate - Open-source offline translation library written in Python
mesa-git-extension
snapstore - Obsolete super minimalist example "store" to serve snap packages
flatpak - Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework
bubblewrap - Low-level unprivileged sandboxing tool used by Flatpak and similar projects
