i was wondering ...
How did you install Steam? .deb/flat/snap? There can be a problem if you installed Steam as flat/snap as they run in sandbox.

Just like what I experienced with FlatPak OnlyOffice.
It is in the sandbox and unable to connect a network printer nor a network drive. It is puzzling why they bother to create this mode of installation. Office suite without printer is completely useless :frowning:

@storm, i just installed steam from the software/store

#23

I didn't touch anything in the Software settings, so I guess FLAT since it's what it's set by default... (so no .deb)

#24

I think you install flat then.

Both of you, try uninstall steam and go for .deb version.

#25

Source in the appstore says flathub indeed

#26

Should I save/move the games before uninstalling Steam or better download them again?

#27

You could try move them (I've never done that before so...), if it doesn't work you can always delete and download again.

I installed the steam.deb and installed the proton, now it does show in steam.

@Storm OMG it works! Thank you so much, been 10 days since Launch Day I couldn't find out why Proton wouldn't allow me to play on version 5.10+. I still don't know why (do you know what changed before version 5.10 and after?), but at least now I don't have to try so many workarounds and waste hours.
So, installing .deb worked.

Flat/Snap is ... how should I put it ... problematic in many ways. So I always go for .deb or PPA's

If you download the .deb file from steam homepage, you simple double click it to install it.
