Makes sense, I was wondering how that worked when I saw some of those in my list. Is that another layer to the flatpak, like a Docker layer or are Flatpaks allowed out of their sandboxes to talk to other Flatpaks?

Looks cool, don't want to start using user repos for it though. Wish they had a Flatpak.

My understanding is the Mesa driver is userland so Flatpaks can include it. I just assumed Steam would include it for slower moving distros.

I am new to Flatpaks and still trying to understand, any correction is welcome.

What about mesa drivers and other dependencies like Mangohud?

Good to know, thanks for the clarification.

Good suggestion; haven't dived into the world of Gamescope yet.

The game is under Steam proton, so I would expect that to use Wayland; unless all that stuff is XWayland?

Really enjoying Tumbleweed so far. The extra testing cycle they do versus Arch has a measurable effect on stability and need to fiddle with things after a routine system upgrade.

Nice! I imagine it doesn’t work with Firefox sync though?

I saw, very exciting!

Follow up, have both the Flatpak version and package steam up and running. Moved my game library to ~/Games/Steam. I added ~/Games/Steam:rw (and later ~/Games/Steam:create) to my Flatpak permissions and tried to install a game that already existed to make Flatpak Steam realize it was there, Steam instead gives me a "Disk Write Error". Did you hit this at all, any idea what it may be?

EDIT: Fix it, or it magically fixed itself. I removed the Steam library and re-added it and that seemed to make it happy.

I am tempted to wait as I should be getting Plasma 6 soonish (on Tumbleweed)

Basically :)

Wayland + KDE

While I am enjoying my time with KDE I've always been more at home in Gnome. Hoping promotion of this from experimental to mainstream and HDR support are fast follows. I'd love to have another viable DE for gaming.

Good suggestion, really appreciate the help.

Looks like it may be my DNS server getting flooded, see the thread at https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/comment/8057349.

I am using pihole. I will take a look and see if that is happening and report back.

How did you end up fixing the issue?

EDIT: Checked in on it and this is indeed the issue. Heroic is generating thousands of requests and I assume phile is flood controlling it. Two questions:

• How can I confirm pihole is flood controlling it? Found a message confirming the rate limiting under Tools -> Pi-hole diagnosis
• And how did you fix this?

Output of netstat -rn looks the same when the network is down, same for other tools like route and ip route.

Yeah chalk this up to me needing to read that manual.

I took the instructions there and replaced the Steam flatpak with Lutris and it worked - though Mangohud is not reading my existing config even though it has access according to Flatseal.

It’s weird to me that Flatpaks cans interact with other Flatpaks but not system packages. I would assume sandboxing would prevent both of those cases.
