From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Look if you have
xdg-desktop-portal-gtkandxdg-desktop-portalare installed. I can't say if this solves your problem. You can see each portal to be an API that an application must support to use the functionality which the portal does. But you also need to have the portal installed. I know it's a mess, but its how it is.For a totally different application, I could not save files until I installed these portals (if I remember right). The problem with Steam might be a different one, if its not a Flatpak.
The thing is, it only breaks sometimes (usually when I need it the most lol). Both are installed and I don’t think it would only not work sometimes if they were missing. I’m thinking of hopping to another distro haha I know it’s not arch’s fault, but this excuse is as good as any lmao
