Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    add a secondary storage device to my steam library.

    You mean have more than one steam library? That's a steam setting. Nothing to do with KDE. Gnome, Debian or Fedora.

    The flatpak works,

    Oh. There's your issue. Don't run steam as a flatpak, there might be sandboxing issues.

    EDIT: MF did you read the page you downloaded stuff from:

    Note: To add a game library on another drive, first you need to grant the app access to it:

    flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/your/Steam/Library com.valvesoftware.Steam

    Buddy... Flatpak works, I know that. I do not want to use flatpak. It's that Steam from the distro's official repository, whether it's on Debian or Fedora, doesn't allow me to set up a library specifically on a different storage device than the OS' and specifically only on KDE.

    Well, I'm using KDE and I set up a library eight months ago and... yes there's a bug. Just checked. Not entirely the same but related to this:

    https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9797

    There's an official workaround mentioned there.

    I guess KDE updated their portal protocol version some time in between and steam got doubly confused. Probably not a KDE bug, in particular because this kind of stuff is happening for many, many portal implementations.

    And it's not a dolphin window (with me) btw it's a qt filepicker. Says "portal" at the end in the title, kde logo to the left.
