I am coming from windows and want to switch. Got a new M2, installed mint cinnamon, got it to dual boot, installed the drivers for my 3060 installed steam.

I linked the steam libraries on my other drives (the ones I also use in windows) downloaded proton in several versions and... Cyberpunk didn't start. When I restarted the system, updated all the software, restarted again.

When started steam again, the UI was gone. I see three icon in the tray on the right, and I can move the steam window, when I happen to find it. But I don't see the window, I see the desktop background. What can I do to fix that?

Thanks for your time and help

The best way for me to install steam was sudo apt install steam-installer will catch pretty much everything dependency wise. If I remember right, playing off an NTFS disk does cause issues. You could also try changing up proton, if you search the store for proton plus and install a recent GE version it might fix the issue if it's a say a proprietary encoding issue.

There is a lot of conflicting information in this thread. Installation of Steam from package manager VS deb from Valve VS official Flatpak VS official Snap. I know that the official Snap is terrible so I'm ignoring it. The Flatpak has some permission issue but I heard it solves some compatibility issues for some games.

Someone should make a comprehensive guide for each type.
