I’m moving my posts from Reddit to Lemmy before delete them.

It should've been apt-get but welp.
It works either way, apt or apt-get.
I know but the command he used was apt-get.
I remember apt had a colored progress bar unlike apt-get. Don't know how it is now, using pacman and yay
Did you just say "i use arch btw" whithout saying it?
Wasn't my intention, but I guess I did
I love how unnecessary it was to the overall context lol
yay gang
What is this referencing? In which video did this happen?
One of the Linux challenge videos. Either part 1 or 2.
The Linux community loves hating on Linus for this, but honestly, it was a bug that popos has now fixed, and the video genuinely shows how difficult Linux can be for the average user.
For real though, what's the best way to install steam? I assume it's the *.deb directly from the site.
Probably through your GUI package manager. I’d be surprised if your package manager didn’t have a native binary or a flatpack.
flatpak install steam
Flatpak can't launch non-steam games via Steam :(
Yeah it can*
Is there a way to do it without breaking the sandbox? I've been looking for a few days for a way to do this without any luck.
What do you mean by breaking the sandbox. You add permissions to let it see other drives if that's what you mean. Other then that, I just let it see my home and add non steam games. They come up like you would with Windows.

I can't figure out a way to do it without using flatpak-spawn maybe I should create a thread on Lemmy to see if anyone else knows a way.
You just give it permission to see whatever directory you're launching the exe from
I'm not launching an exe I am trying to launch flatpaks and appimages

I think I've read it somewhere that Valve recommends the flatpak. Maybe not, but I would definitely go that route.
Depends on the distro. pacman -Sy steam does the trick in Arch.
I prefer my distro's binary but after the last glibc update I convinced the flatpak version has less problems.
And the flatpack version was thoroughly convinced :)
I recently started thinking like that too after the last glibc update. :)
Hint: :q!
