Hi,
I'm looking for help with getting Steam started.
I put it in Nvidia mode bc I have Nvidia GPU, but it doesn't launch at all.
I did not install Nvidia drivers yet.
I have a 13700H (so with integrated graphics), and a 4060.
Do I need to install drivers for Intel, or should I just install Nvidia drivers?
I just hope the drivers are why Steam games don't launch 🙂
#Steam not working, could it be drivers?

@atomic lava flatpak or native?
atomic lava
idk
I think I just pacman'ed or yay'ed it
Do you think I need to uninstall then compile it?
atomic lava
?
thin dome
pacman -Q steam
twilit solar
i think what killertofu is trying to say is that always use pacman -Ss <package> to see if it exists in the official repo. if it doesnt, feel free to use yay -Ss <package> to see if it exists there
atomic lava
Oh, I see
twilit solar
pacman -Q steam
do run this though @atomic lava and give the output
atomic lava
❯❯ pacman -Q steam
steam 1.0.0.82-2
that's what it says
What should I do?
@twilit solar @thin dome I ran the command, what do I do now? Is that a bad version or something?
thin dome
@atomic lava try the flatpak version
atomic lava
<@291686682477068299> try the flatpak version
Sorry, what does that mean? How do I do that?
atomic lava
ah
Do I need to uninstall the games before doing that?
And do I need to uninstall Steam?
twilit solar
you.. managed to install games? what do you mean steam isnt working exactly?
atomic lava
I mean I can't launch games
atomic lava
also, some games just will not install
hmm
it's very weird
for example among us will not install
a lot of the games do not install
I know the steam deck is a lot more consistent and it's Linux too
twilit solar
i do wonder. how new are you to Linux and which distrobution did you pick? did you pick Arch?
atomic lava
I'm relatively new to using Linux desktop environments (maybe 1-2 months) for personal use, but I've used Linux servers for years

debian based?
atomic lava
yes and no
I tried to run with Arch before, but always ended up going back to Windows
twilit solar
also, some games just will not install
proton is normally disabled if i recall, meaning you have to enable it in steam settings so that the other games are downloadable and playable
atomic lava
ah
twilit solar
I tried to run with Arch before, but always ended up going back to Windows
Arch isnt for the faint of heart when first beginning. thats for sure
atomic lava
I know
I'm running it now, and I'll try to keep with it this time 🙂
Thanks! I think that this would work, but I'm not 100% sure, I'll test it out and confirm.
halo infinite doesnt work, but I'm not sure if that's driver related or bc Halo is not Linux compatible? idk
hollow knight doesnt work either
baba is you works though
Halo is having issues with the anticheat, hollow knight? idk
Here's the Halo error, Hollow Knight just freezes and it doesnt give an error
ill just wait for the downloads to finish, I think it's broken atm
