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) ??

      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.
