Thank you! I'll check it out, it seems to have quite a few good suggestions.

Mostly, I just don't know much about hardware in general. I'm sure I could follow a tutorial online on how to put it together, but I don't know much about what I'd need to buy in the first place.
I'll look online and see what I can find though, this does seem like what I'm going to have to do to get the specs I want.
If this isn't the right community to post this, please let me know, and I'll take it down. I don't want to cause any trouble, I'm just looking for help. I'm really new to this kinda stuff.
+1 from me, this is a pretty nice feature
For real!
I have autism, and I swear, dealing with other neurodivergant people is a true pain in the rear. It really puts it into perspective just how frustrating I probably am when my condition makes me into the world most dense and forgetful person in the room. I know I hate it when other people act the way I sometimes do subconsciously.
I'm using Btrfs. I'm not that experienced with Linux, does that kind of thing usually cause issues?
I'm running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It's an offshoot of Silverblue

I haven't tried any of the other versions in a while, mostly because it takes forever to install, but I can do that. I'll point out that this issue has been going on for years, and I had issues with all variants of steam I've tried before.
I'll download steam a few other times from various package managers to see if any of them work now that some time has passed. In particular, I'll try rpm-ostree layering, docker, and nix.
(edit)
I've tried installing steam a few different ways.
First, I tried installing with nix.
nix profile install nixpkgs#steam resulted in an error about non-free software that couldn't be bypassed, so I tried devbox global add steam@latest which did work, but only in so much as it installed. It failed to launch steam, never mind any games.
Then I tried docker, since it's what I used prior to flatpak. I first ran
podman pull ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome then
ujust distrobox bazzite-arch ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome
This functioned well, but had the same exact problems as the flatpak version.
I was unable to install the rpm-ostree version. Apparently, Bluefin doesn't include it in the default repositories.
I did test to see if 'brew' had steam in its packages, but unfortunately it didn't.
I added some system details to my original comment, if your still interested. I also included the logs from when I tried to run Titanfall 2
Sorry, Flatpak
I edited my original comment to contain some other system information and the logs.
Thank you, I'll do just that
