    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,
