Clicking steam from menu doesn't open it. Trying from terminal shows no output.

I was able to install and run it from a flatpak, which I'm fine with doing but I'm not sure if this will cause any issues.

top | grep steam

top | grep steam

and

ps -aef | grep steam

ps -aef | grep steam

show nothing.

why are you running Steam from a flatpak?

Ttermdisc why are you running Steam from a flatpak?

Because as mentioned in the title, the pre-installed steam on the image doesn't do anything. It doesn't open, theres no logs from the terminal, nada.

So I installed it from a flatpak just to see if it would run (it does)

Run

bazzite-steam

bazzite-steam

and see if behavior changes

Also make sure there isn’t a stalled process before doing that

Ttermdisc Run `bazzite-steam` and see if behavior changes
