So I am on linuxmint 22, Should I install the Flatpak version of steam (It’s not available, but should I, if it was) or whatever that Steam gives you (.DEB file) ??

    I don’t really know mint but why not install it through your package manager?

        Steam updates itself so it shouldn’t be a problem I run debian and use the package from their Repo and have no issues

        That would be very weird. I gather that Mint use Ubuntu’s packages so it should be OK. Did you try it?

          Well… I ended up installing the .DEB version that you download directly from Steam’s website

                I never heard that and never installed Steam without a package manager. Be careful not to listen to everyone’s advices.

                    I don’t think you should trust it more.
