        It’s an issue because every desktop shell has a different implementation and Steam needs to support various versions of kde/gnome/xfce and whatnot. I found that I had to install certain packages and do unholy things to make dialog appear on some systems.

          Hmm, I would have assumed its as simple as checking for a few different file managers and just launching one. Interesting that it seems to be more complicated than that.

          huh? isn’t it just a simple xdg-mime query default inode/directory (obviously in non-bash code form) and then calling that program?

          like if games can do this, why can’t steam?

            it’s really one of those “well…it depends” It works for you because you somehow figure out the magical setup. It’s never worked for me even on Arch with dolphin. and I didn’t even bother dealing with it on NixOS.

            I experienced it mostly on gnome. You would right click and ask to browser file and it wouldn’t do anything. You had to repeat it several times for it to open.

                Yea gnome is fucking trash right now. I keep trying it out but it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

                I used to love it back in the day but the devs are stubborn and continue to push an unintuitive design for some reason and GTK is pretty terrible.

                On the flip side I hated Plasma 5 for a long time when it first released because it was buggy as all hell. But now it’s my main choice as well.

                  Plasma just has so much qol settings built into it. The only thing I’m missing is remote access, for whatever reason I can either get unattended access where the mouse and keyboard work, but the whole screen is white, or I get attended access, where I have to press a button on the computer to allow access

                  plasma has made such monstrious strides that i decided to switch to it after updating my mom’s laptop and going “oh shit that’s sweet”

                  i’m fairly certain you could mostly replicate gnome in plasma, just like you can replicate windows

    The environment variable STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING stopped working but there is now a UI scale slider in the Steam settings instead. My only complaint is that it is hidden in the accessibility options.

    Damn no mention of the starting in store page bug.

    My and my friends steam just show a black store page on first open. We had to click to library and back for it to render.

    I started making my library the start up default and then just clicking over to the store to save myself a click.

    Flatpak version on Bazzite. Didn’t experience it on other distros.

      I’m using the .deb (for VR and DRM) I can only access the steam library and interact with it, if I try to interact with the desktop the window closes. ended up installing wlxoverlay to access my desktops. also steam only gives me 1 of my 2 monitors. hope this fixes some of these issues

          No, it comes with the rpm. We do not use the flatpak.
