This is what I hate about flatpak. I shouldn’t have to just know what random permission something needs. It should be marked with what permissions it requires, and then prompt for whether or not to grant them when it’s launched.
That’s what Flatpak is for. 32bit crap is moved into its own corner without interfering with any system level stuff.
Doesn’t the Flatpak version have it’s own issues? I’m considering just installing Bazzite on a separate partition.
I’ve been using Steam via flatpak on Debian without any issues (yet) since Trixie released.
Thanks, I’ll give that a try then!
Bazzite has Steam preinstalled, and in fact it blocks the installation of Flatpak Steam
Issues likeee?

Yes, it doesn’t work out of the box. Proton games literally won’t launch. You need to run this command (at least on atomic distros):
flatpak permission-set background background com.valvesoftware.Steam yes

Mangohud also doesn’t work without modifications, as well as a couple games having absolutely abysmal framerates like rocket league.
Gamemode doesn’t work AFAIK
It is a worse experience in general, but works for a lot of people.
