Okie doke 
Have you got any partition on your HDD?
Ok go to files and add folder for your Steam libray
And tell me it's name
okie doke! 1 second steam being unresponsive
Tell me the name of this folder
Steam isn't opening back up 1 sec
think i broke it, steam won't open at all 
Tell me the name of created folder
I need generate path to type in flatseal
okie doke
Type the name of folder
You don't gave my the name of it
/dev/sda/[your folder name]
paste this in this new flatseal form
and change [your folder name] to name of folder that you created on your HDD
Isn't it easier to install the .deb instead?
Uninstall the flatpak, then
sudo apt install steam
Then you don't have to mess around with stuff.

Yes, I never even considered the possibility that Flatpak was in use. I guess it shows my bias...
But grateful to @rebok232 for stepping in and covering that possibility.
Newer steam versions work better. Newer anything works better for gaming actually.
But, you get the same Steam either way. I use the one in the repositories and I have the latest Steam. Flatpak Steam is just waste of Space and inconvenient for new users.
