    I’ve tried KDE on both Debian and Fedora. Neither have allowed me to do what I want to do: add a secondary storage device to my steam library. Whenever I try to, it just pops up a separate Dolphin window that doesn’t affect steam once a folder is selected (almost like it’s a separate process and not a child process of Steam).

    The flatpak works, but 1. Ew; 2. It runs steam on Xwayland; 3. Being a debian nerd, I want to be as much of a <default package manager> purist as possible to make life easier down the road

    I’ll switch once this is fixed, but I just gotta stick with Gnome until it is

      add a secondary storage device to my steam library.

      You mean have more than one steam library? That’s a steam setting. Nothing to do with KDE. Gnome, Debian or Fedora.

      The flatpak works,

      Oh. There’s your issue. Don’t run steam as a flatpak, there might be sandboxing issues.

      EDIT: MF did you read the page you downloaded stuff from:

      Note: To add a game library on another drive, first you need to grant the app access to it:

      flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/your/Steam/Library com.valvesoftware.Steam

      I have like five libraries, I went ahead and just tried to add another one to see if it was a regression and unfortunately I can’t reproduce. Then again I’ve always been a KDE Arch user I don’t know if that has anything to do with it maybe I just missed this bug
