  • flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

  • Well good news, this was just fixed in flatpak here and confirmed to fix Proton here. I've also confirmed this on my system (Arch with Flatpak 1.11.1-1).

  • steam-for-linux

    Issue tracking for the Steam for Linux beta client

  • Not only that. It also avoids you losing your data, unlike the native package (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671). Running Steam, and other (especially proprietary) applications, without any means of sandboxing (like that provided by Flatpak, or other solutions) is like asking for trouble. Some people have learned that the hard way.
