As the title says, I am looking to install both the package version (on OpenSuse Tumbleweed) and Flatpak version. I’ve been running the package version for awhile and it’s been fine but I want to play with the Flatpak version to see how that compares - partially because I may eventually go for an immutable distro.

I know how to do this, I am just curious if I shouldn’t do it or if there anything I should be aware of. Will my game library just work between the two?

    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.

      Great to hear it works! I’ve also had issues with the SteamLibrary not being detected a few times over the years, but that also happened on SteamOS so I guess it’s a bug.
