Cool change.

On the topic of Flatpak games... I hope Valve takes over the flatpak/Flathub version of Steam. Right now it's unofficial.

Valve only officially supports the .deb package on the most recent Ubuntu LTS, and their official SteamOS version.

Despite this, Canonical defaults to the unofficial Snaps version - in the past when this caused issues, Valve said that people should use the Flathub version - which they don't actually support!

Come on, Valve. You know it makes sense. You clearly like Flatpaks if you're telling people to use them and preinstalling them on the Deck. Make it official!
