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.

Steam's flatpak also can't access libraries on other hard drives.
yes it can, you just have to give it permission to the mount point of said drive....
I wasn't able to get it working on Pop and ended up just building the package myself from a download. I just switched to Arch last weekend and there is a package that gives Steam all the permissions it needs. I wonder if that package would work with the flatpak.
