Opinion* Best way to run Steam?

[konspiracy 2]

Hello,

I just wanted to reach out and say I have installed Steam using flatpak about 2 months ago and I have had zero issues. I know there is away of setting up an overlay and chrooting into a 32bit kernel but that seemed like way to much work. Performance has been fantastic, and even the new proton layer they have been working on seems to chug right along. If you have any questions or if you think maybe there is a a better way of accomplishing this task please let me know.

Thanks,

Shane

I'm testing flatpak apps, already tested the game SuperTuxKart and work perfect, I"ll download a game on steam and test tomorrow.

Sweet,

I still have had no issues running with flatpak. I use it for anything that's a dependency nightmare, thanks for the feedback though.
