This is true. And it’s also why I always recommend downloading steam through their website. They distribute their own Deb directly, and it auto updates.

Flatpak version is also okay but if you want to use a secondary disk then you need to know how to use portals (or the Flatpak configuration tool that I can’t remember the name of).

I think there is a value you can put into a /sys file to fix this. Had the same issue on my k10 keyboard. (the fix was easily findable on their forums)

This might help in the future in case you setup a remote mount for backups in the future. Look into using systemd’s automount feature. If the mount suddenly fails then it will instead create an unwritable directory in its place. This prevents your rsync from erroneously writing data to your root partition instead.

Thank you for suggesting nuke anything.

There used to be an old chrome extension called fuckit that did a similar job but I hadn’t found a replacement since switching to Firefox.
