As the title says, I am looking to install both the package version (on OpenSuse Tumbleweed) and Flatpak version. I’ve been running the package version for awhile and it’s been fine but I want to play with the Flatpak version to see how that compares - partially because I may eventually go for an immutable distro.

I know how to do this, I am just curious if I shouldn’t do it or if there anything I should be aware of. Will my game library just work between the two?

    I was using the flatpak version on arch for a while with no issues up until I started getting into modding and stuff. I ended up switching to the native version. Some issues were easy to fix by just granting permission to access a certain folder. Other issues I never figured out. Most importantly though, the vast majority of guides and tools simply don’t assume flatpak which means that resources and community help is a bit more scarce. I think it is because of people that use the steam deck which is an immutable os that I was able to figure out anything regarding the various different things you may need to do in order to get different kinds of mods and programs to run withing the flatpak sandbox.
