In Mint most people recommend installing Steam directly from the website as .deb. There are dozens of informative threads on the official forums, which also explain some differences of the installation method, for example: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=427582
Also Valve’s guide on how to use Steam with an NTFS disk (which I assume you’re using) can be found here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows
Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris also support Proton versions, since some games run best with them. But most games simply run with the latest version of Wine or Proton respectively.
Mine is set to expire: Expires / Max-Age:“Fri, 23 Aug 2024 06:40:27 GMT” - so that’s in 7 days. Great find though!
Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.
Just did some digging - I cannot see that mentioned post on lemm.ee support. I can find the community but the last post that shows for me is from 3 months ago and when I search for the post’s title I get “no results”. Bit off-topic though, sorry.
Possibly, but I’m wondering why it’s only affecting Lemmy then? (I’m using Librewolf that’s based on Firefox)
I had allowed all scripts for that website, still not working.
No not at all, I just said that because I’m often under the impression that many people never search before posting and it sometimes annoys me so I try not to make the same mistake :D. I still miss the old forum days where we had that Bart Simpson meme.
Thanks for piecing it together, it might be a problem for more users, I’m relieved to read it’s not only happening to me!
“Browser not supported” - weird choice not to support hardened browsers like Librewolf.
Thanks! I was searching for posts before I posted but hadn’t found that post.
Edit: that post suggests to clear cookies - I’ve tried that twice on two machines, same problem still.
Refreshing logs me out when I’m logged in and does nothing when I’m logged out.
I used to have it from time to time too, but now it’s every single time and that’s inconvenient.
Not sure about that popularity comment, it’s also available on Windows and I know of many people who have been using it for years instead of the crappy Epic Store. And yes, it works great for GOG.
Thank you, that’s very helpful. I will have to think about it - it comes down to a question of convenience vs. “best” security possible.
Oh yes, that’s entirely my own fault. I first installed Aurora, then Steam as Flapak and later rebased to Bazzite. It was all just for trying stuff out, on my main machine, the install will be clean.
Oh I think I’ve found my answer, it was about SELinux being disabled. Now it says on their official website: "SELinux:
– We have replaced SELinux with AppArmor (AppArmor is used in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE) as we find it to be more user-friendly, less intrusive, and easier to write policies for. You will still see some SELinux packages as they are required to keep Fedora compatibility and not break package dependencies."
I am very interested in what you are saying. I’ve been trying Bazzite for a while now and I ran into some quirks I couldn’t resolve - tiny stuff, that’s mainly a small inconvenience like not being able to put icons on the desktop with Steam due to it being Flatpak and Valve not having enabled that specific option) -
BUT -
I’ve also tried Nobara then was kinda put off by people saying something along the lines, that GE disabled some security features for better performance (and since it was a distro for personal use at first) and I tried to search for the details, but came up empty. Could you say a bit more about this or where I could find more info, please? Cause I’m using my distro as daily driver and not only for gaming, so it got me worried a little.
And how is that relevant in a post about “Linux Mint and Steam”?
