For real!

I have autism, and I swear, dealing with other neurodivergant people is a true pain in the rear. It really puts it into perspective just how frustrating I probably am when my condition makes me into the world most dense and forgetful person in the room. I know I hate it when other people act the way I sometimes do subconsciously.

I'm using Btrfs. I'm not that experienced with Linux, does that kind of thing usually cause issues?

I'm running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It's an offshoot of Silverblue

I haven't tried any of the other versions in a while, mostly because it takes forever to install, but I can do that. I'll point out that this issue has been going on for years, and I had issues with all variants of steam I've tried before.

I'll download steam a few other times from various package managers to see if any of them work now that some time has passed. In particular, I'll try rpm-ostree layering, docker, and nix.

(edit) I've tried installing steam a few different ways. First, I tried installing with nix. nix profile install nixpkgs#steam resulted in an error about non-free software that couldn't be bypassed, so I tried devbox global add steam@latest which did work, but only in so much as it installed. It failed to launch steam, never mind any games.

Then I tried docker, since it's what I used prior to flatpak. I first ran podman pull ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome then ujust distrobox bazzite-arch ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome This functioned well, but had the same exact problems as the flatpak version.

I was unable to install the rpm-ostree version. Apparently, Bluefin doesn't include it in the default repositories.

I did test to see if 'brew' had steam in its packages, but unfortunately it didn't.

I added some system details to my original comment, if your still interested. I also included the logs from when I tried to run Titanfall 2

Sorry, Flatpak

I edited my original comment to contain some other system information and the logs.

Sorry, forgot about that. I'm using the latest steam beta, at the time of writing.

I'm using Proton Experimental. While I have checked ProtonDB, I wasn't able to find a solution. I did find that quite a large number of people suggested I put the following in the launch options: for var in $(printenv | cut -d= -f1); do export $var=$(echo ${!var} | rev | cut -c1-1000 | rev); done ; OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000 %command% -window -noborder

But it didn't change anything.

There are a bunch of games on steam labeled as "playable", but that silently fail when I attempt to launch them. Always the same issue, and it isn't specific to a single game. Binding of Isiac was one of these until recently, where it mysteriously fixed itself while I wasn't paying attention. Titanfall 2 is another, which I'm still struggling with.

If anyones interested, I'll copy paste the steam logs. I'm typing this from my phone, so I can't do that from here.

Personally? Onboarding.

I've looked at the instructions on how to install peertube several times now, but its just not worth the hassle at this point. Until I can run it in just a single docker image, without an external database or email service required, then I'm not going to bother.

Its really frustrating, because I really like the project, but I just don't have the ability to use services like it without docker or podman.

Fair enough. I've never been, don't much like coffee, and I can't say I ever plan to go there. They don't sound like the most pleasant of places to relax in.
