![]() ![]() ![]() If you fit that external drive scenario, your best and simplest option is to install Steam from the Software Center. In my case, that command looks like: flatpak override -user -filesystem=/run/media/jason To give FlatPak apps access to your external drive, open Terminal and type this:įlatpak override -user -filesystem=/path/to/mount Then you may also need to auto-mount that drive when you boot up, which further complicates the process (again, I'm looking at things from a beginner's perspective). However, if you run with the FlatPak version and house your game library on an external drive (as I do since I'm constantly testing different distros), you'll need to either fire up terminal and grant permission to the FlatPak apps you've installed to access that drive. I've found the more universal FlatPak version to be the easier choice if you're running all of your games from a local drive (the same drive Fedora is installed on). Think of a FlatPak as a self-contained app that includes all the various dependencies needed for the software to run on more than a dozen major Linux distributions. Fedora ships its own Steam executable, easily found and installed via the Software Center. But for new Linux users this can actually be the first small hurdle. Getting Steam up and running on Fedora is 29 for native games and Proton games (using Valve's fork of WINE which lets users install and play thousands of Windows-exclusive games from inside the Steam for Linux client) is relatively painless. ![]()
