I've been using Steam in FlatPak on NixOS for a couple years now.

The only games I've found that didn't work were due to anti-cheat rootkit stuff, which would probably be a bigger deal if I cared about online gaming. And I've had to change the Proton version a couple times, because the beta (default) seems to break a game occasionally. Overall: it's astoundingly good compared to where it was 5+ years ago.

I agree with you, but it’s just not ready for the average person.

Case in point: regardless of which version of Steam I install it goes into a crash-restart cycle if I open it from gnome. The only way to run it is to type “steam” in the console.

The issue persists regardless of whether I use the .deb or flatpak.
