DISCLAIMER: Arch Linux is not a beginner friendly distribution, and this is not a recommendation or good practice.

I know how to use pacman -S. I have yet to experience a Discover related issue after months of use.

You can use it for Flatpaks which works great for a lot of people.

    Flatpak just working would be a nice thing. Everytime I try they fuck something new up...

    (Last time I thought about installing Steam via Flatpak on Arch to get rid of all the multilib 32bit stuff not needed for aynthing else anymore it worked for nearly 4 days. Then flatpak update randomly uninstalled its nvidia drivers because an "update" removing the old package first, then realizing it can't find the new one make total sense of course.)

    If I learned anything with Steam it's to never install it as a Flatpak.

    Yeah, I heard that several times but decided to try it anyway.

    But I expected problems with Steam not with flatpak itself just removing the very same graphics driver it had just installed as a dependency...
