    my favourite part is Steam throwing in a symlink, a broken symlink, and a directory of 4 files and 7 more symlinks that all point to a more reasonable point in ~/.local/share/steam/

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

      Haha you just reminded me of that damn flashing broken steam sym link in my home folder, it’s been there for years and I’ve yet to investigate or do anything about it.

        It’s there for ancient compatibility reasons and recreated when steam starts, iirc. I’ve looked a bit into removing it last year but didn’t get far

      lol that’s great. Does flatpak Steam do that too? I can’t see anything from Steam directly in my home directory, and I use the flatpak version.

        Flatpak itself violates the xdg base dir spec by making ~/.var

        Flatpaks can’t just access your home directory.

          If you don’t give access to it with Flatseal or in the KDE settings app.
