Ok it seems I have it but the program doesn’t recognize it. So kinda stuck there but I’ll see if I can fix it

It'll be alright. It'll all work out. Sorry I can't be of further assistance but I'm sure some others will jump on in due time.

I think the version of yad installed by the OS might be an older one, you can check on the terminal with:

yad --version

Fortunately, SteamTinkerLaunch has options to work around that using conty or appimages, see https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Yad
