Interesting. What is that "private torrent tracker"? How exactly do you download from it?

That's what I tried at first, but they blocked the website I use.
is at odds with
I just didn't expect it to be this much. After all, two years of this would cost me €120. I expected it to be more like €50. So I guess in this case, it is about the money; after all, there is a reason why we pirate ;)
Personally, I prefer to give my money to Mullvad than to Netflix.
Don't worry, so would I. There is no way I'm supporting this company. It was just supposed to be a comparison.
While that would probably work, as I already said, I do not want to pay for one. It's less about the money but more about that I'd have to give them all my information - my name, credit card details and so on. And I am not willing to do that, as a VPN is only private until the government or whoever asks for all your data, which would include the Website and the fact that I visited it.
Well that's that then. I also have no idea what to try anymore... I guess you'll just have to wait until some random update fixes the issue. Sorry.
Edit: Since you reinstalled everything, I think it could be some cache on your system that went bad. That would explain why both the Flatpak and native versions don't work and why the rest of your system works. But I have no idea where that cache might be...
This just can't be...
After some deep digging, I found one last Idea. Try launching steam with the -vgui flag and let me know if that works.
I use the Firefox flatpak on multiple different desktops and distros and I've never seen this issue. All on wayland (no difference on x11 either). Weird.
I am pretty sure that it has to do something specificially with the Steam Flatpak
That is also possible. But then why is it working for everyone else? I used the steam flatpak multiple times today with no issues. I guess you could also ask the same question for the system package issue theory.
How about the package manager version? Is that working? That could give some hints on whether it's the system or the Flatpak package.
Arch, yes. This is what all the people who had to remove xdg Desktop portal use. How could they remove it if it's a dependency of flatpak? Maybe they don't have flatpak.
If you have too much time on your hands, you could try another fresh arch installation on another hard-drive. If it works there, we know it has to be a system package. If it doesn't, it's probably the Flatpak.
All this is seriously so weird...
Okay, so the runtimes were fine, good to know. Btw, you can remove runtimes without first removing the apps that depend on them. They just won't work any more until you install it again.
I wonder if there is a clean way to thoroughly remove all and everything coming from Flatpak. At this point I don’t even care if there is any data lost …
Not an official one, but this should do the trick if you really want to delete everything. If you want to, you could back up the user files for your other Flatpaks first.
1.flatpak uninstall --all --delete-data
2.Remove flatpak with your package manager
3.sudo rm -rf /var/lib/flatpak /var/cache/flatpak ~/.local/share/flatpak ~/.cache/flatpak ~/.local/share/flatpak ~/.cache/flatpak /etc/flatpak
4.Reboot
5.Install flatpak again
6.Add flathub
7.Install steam
If that also doesn't work, I'm 95% certain it has to be one of your system packages. Weird that a system package would break any Flatpaks though... What distro are you using anyway?
So what do you do when a new movie comes out that you want to watch?
