On a fresh normal install, you don't even have to go to Steams website to install, you don't have to go directly and grab files from any repository.Dangbert wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:58 am I did a normal install of MX. I then logged onto Steam Powered and logged on and did the necessary install of the app. What you are saying is to log on, get the app and then install Steam from the repository. So, I should delete the Steam folders in User and USR, grab the files from the repository and everything should be fine. What about the fact that Steam updates every time you log on?
As an item of curiosity, why did you set up MX this way? Mint does not seem to care.
Thanks
You can install Steam from the MX Package Installer. Steam will update as normal, no fuss, no muss.... easy peazy.
I can't say that you should delete everything and start over, but I can say that it is very hard to know what is and isn't installed on your system because you've had so many different repositories enabled. It is near impossible to replicate your system configuration to help and troubleshoot because of this.
I don't know how Mint does it, really don't care either lol.
It takes 3 clicks and one check box to install Steam on MX. Doesn't get much easier than that.
Are there other things that may need done for specific games, sure, but that is the same on any Distro.
Now in my opinion, if I were in your shoes and you wanted to use MX instead of Mint, I would reinstall a fresh version of MX 19.2 AHS and install Steam through MX Package Installer. Things should be much better and more stable, if you have issues after that its easier to help you.
