Greetings,

If you're using Steam and installed it as a flatpak you may noticed that it doesn't make any installed game icons to your Desktop.

Here's how you do it:

  1. Go to ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/Desktop and drag the icon(S) To your Desktop.
  2. Open the icon with the text editor app.
  3. Change Steam steam://rungameid/XXXXXXX to xdg-open steam://rungameid/XXXXXX

Enjoy! ^_^

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the workaround for creating game icons on the Desktop when using Steam installed as a flatpak. This method involves navigating to the "~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/Desktop" directory, dragging the desired icons to the Desktop, and then modifying the icon's text file to change "Steam steam://rungameid/XXXXXXX" to "xdg-open steam://rungameid/XXXXXX". This should allow for easier access to your installed games. Enjoy your gaming experience!

Best regard,
