This is why I have used flatpak steam. It's a lot easier to manage drivers in it vs the shitshow that is doing it natively with adding custom driver specific repos and whatnot.

Hoping the new PC I just ordered (with an AMD GPU) will be better with the native app.

I will remark that that sounds like a distro issue - I use Arch and the drivers are just in the official distros, no need to add external ones. Just look up what you need on the wiki and install it.

That said, AMD will still probably be a better experience.

I use Arch, btw.

No flak. I do, too.
