Thanks for the clarification! We actually run very similar systems; I’m on the hardened Bluefin-dx image as per secureblue.
Regarding Steam, Bazzite -one of Bluefin’s uBlue siblings- actually switched over to RPM Fusion’s Steam due to issues with the Flatpak. EDIT: The former is false. The Deck images have always been on RPM Steam. Only the Desktop images moved to RPM Steam (from Distrobox-Arch) for support consistency reasons. Appreciation goes out to [email protected] for correcting me!
I don’t know what exactly is the way to go for you. But I can suggest the following possibilities (from own experience):
Install RPM Fusion’s Steam through layering with rpm-ostree.
Use Steam bundled with Bazzite- Arch; this is what Bazzite used to use in the past.
Or (very unconventional) use the Steam bundled with Conty.
Bazzite lead developer here, we actually never used the flatpak. Our first release had it installed in a distrobox container on the desktop images. Deck images always had RPM Steam because Steam is essentially functioning as a desktop environment there. We moved them both to be RPM for support consistency reasons.
I’m running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It’s an offshoot of Silverblue

Thank you so much for correcting me! I’ll edit my earlier post to reflect this! Your work on Bazzite is much appreciated! Thank you!
