I need someone to explain Steam as flatpak to me
by inlinux_gaming
Is it possible to move one of your flatpak installs (example – Steam client) off your root/home partition?
It could technically be possible as there are some env vars I believe but its not necessarily designed to run off a usb drive or such.
Is it possible to install Steam app on root/home partition, but all the games on a separate partition?
Yes you can grant Steam access to a directory:
flatpak override –filesystem=/mnt/foo/bar com.valvesoftware.Steam and then in Steam configure a games library in that directory.
flatpak override --filesystem=/mnt/foo/bar com.valvesoftware.Steam
