Good morning lemmites, I just installed nobara on my aging gaming laptop, hoping to get a few more years out of it and potentially hook it up as a capture device for my desktop. Most of the process has been seamless but there are a few outliers. First being that I had an issue getting the version of Steam working off of the software portal, so I installed the flatpak to work around it being hung up on installing directX.

Now, I’ve managed to get some games working through Proton-Qt but I’ve noticed that it won’t detect what version of Proton I’m using for Mass Effect LE due to me installing it originally on the non-flatpak version of Steam which Proton-QT is still detecting. I uninstalled the old version of steam but am not sure what the appropriate method of cleaning the drive of old content is on Fedora linux or any linux distro, really.

    I install the one provided by steam. I guess it should just install the first time you install a game that uses it. And then you will be getting updates via steam too.

    I guess, if you are checking out some patches for a game or something like that, then it would be nice to have a simple way to provide your own. But from my experience it’s not needed, steam handles proton versions itself

    EDIT: proton compatibility layer is something else than just proton?
    EDIT2: This is how it looked in the past but AFAIK now you don’t even need to enable proton to install proton-only games. Or am I missing something?
