1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Makes sense.. I was curious what your solution was.. Sounds like I should invest some time into that .. Thanks.

    On debian testing (trixie):

    $ cat bin/steam-jailed.sh

    #!/bin/sh
firejail --private=/home/user/steamjail --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile ~/steam $1

    Sometimes an update breaks something, and I have to experiment with the profile settings, for which it helps to launch a bash with the same jail and start steam on the command line inside the jail to see output messages.

    #!/bin/sh
firejail --private=/home/user/steamjail --blacklist=${HOME}/.inputrc --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile bash

    What happens most of the time is that a steam update depends on a newer system library that I didn't yet install and I then have to do a system update - steam is shit at managing OS dependencies (i.e.: it doesn't)

    Did you get it running already? If so, happy to have helped :) It's a bit tricky to move your downloaded games into the jail so that you don't have to re-download, I think maybe it's just easier to download them again as you start playing them. I started with a jail right from scratch so I only ever tried moving my games files between different jails, that was easier (but can still be done wrong).
