Almost every distro I've used so far ends up having problems installing Steam due to mismatching i386 packages. I've heard that they're being removed upstream. Anyone happen to know a timeline?

That's what I've resorted to but it's not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.

Not trying to denigrate your experience, just wanting to share my own: I moved from apt to flatpak and it has been world-changing for me. Absolutely everything "just works".
