The flatpak is not officially supported by Valve




Is the Arch Linux or Debian package shipped with those distros officially supported by Valve?

I’d still take an unofficial wrapper over that time Steam was wiping home directories.


Ah, that's a very fine point. The rpmfusion RPM isn't officially supported by Valve either.

Edit: Valve releases tarballs and a .deb package. Why would they release a .deb when Arch (which steamos is based on) doesn't use .deb? Releasing a .deb makes me think they test the thing on Ubuntu or Debian


If I recall correctly, Ubuntu has been the only officially supported distro since Steam first came to Linux.


The've moved to arch in recent years, the steam deck itself is running a modified version of arch linux.
