[Question] I have Steam installed on my Linux PC via Flatpak. When I install a game, Flatpak Steam doesn't create a functioning desktop shortcut, nor does it create a functioning system application icon. Any ideas as to why this Steam feature isn't working?
The basic problem is that the .desktop file will try to launch steam which doesn't exist outside the flatpak sandbox. There are various workarounds in the comments of that issue, including https://github.com/gasinvein/steam-desktop-updater

There's a script that makes desktop entries for your installed Steam games, works well with the Flatpak version: https://github.com/gasinvein/steam-desktop-updater
