That’s so cool that nearly 5% are using Steam in Flatpak, despite that not being officially supported by Valve (official installer is still a .deb).
Has anyone here used it in a flatpak? Do controllers work properly?
I haven’t had any issues on my openSUSE Tumbleweed installations, but I’ve considered moving to openSUSE MicroOS, and if I do, I’d end up using the flatpak.
I use it in flatpak, and controllers work properly. The biggest downside to flatpak is that I don’t know how to debug it when things go wrong, but so far, nothing has gone wrong enough for me to move away from flatpak for the last 3 years.

Usual debug pattern for flatpak is
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steamon the command line, there’s also log files down in ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/logs.
But I also have never needed to use it in anger, great when things just work, no?
