I’d think Quebec and the entire country would be more united in the present situation…

I’m starting to wonder if the 5090’s cable melting is due to a factory defect. Will it get solved later this year? I heard that 4090s would still melt by last April.

It should be fixed for the model to be considered good anyhow. Who wants to constantly fear their 5090 might just get it’s cable melted afterall?

To note: Avoid RTX 5090s AT ALL COSTS
Actually, you can also undervolt the GPU to prevent a meltdown, but it might decrease its performance.

I finally found it.
Are all programs installed that way? I mean what is .var for?
Also…
Which is the best install?
- Steam from RPM Fusion
- Steam from Flathub

Flatpak application data. So it is only used by Flatpak apps.
Steam for Flatpak has probably some issues so I wouldn’t use it (the only worse way to use Steam is to use the snap which is in many situations utterly broken). I used the word probably as I can’t actually recall if I’ve seen any recent complaints about Steam Flatpak. I think I do remember reading about some issues with USB drives not showing up. So the easiest way to use Steam on Linux is to install the package manager version so that it is actually fully integrated with your OS.

flatpak totally works, it’s normal to use especially on beginner distros, but I tend to assume the native package manager is always optimal. Not a fedora user but like, assuming people like it as much as they do, RPM has to be pretty dam good.

Besides RPM and Flathub/Flatpak, what are other good installs of Steam?
On fedora that would be how you install stuff. On a debianalike you’d use flathub or apt, on an arch derivative you’d use pacman, or if you feel like it flatpak. The only way to install stuff that isn’t the package manager or flatpak, aka the worse package manager, would be snapd, which is restrictive and irritating, binaries including .appimages, which don’t apply to steam, and compiling from source, which also doesn’t apply, steam is closed source. Maybe you could run the windows version through wine, but like, WHY??

I can guess it’s a rather unpopular and not-that-much-used install, correct?

Right. So turns out flatpak can do be really decent.
Also what is the different between flatpak and flathub?
Flatpak is the app package you download from Flathub. Flathub is the platform where you can download flatpak apps.

Did you have that issue with RPM Fusion?

I don’t recall ever seeing such a prompt. But if I had I could have just typed in my password as my account is in the sudoers list so whatever Steam would have wanted to change, it could have given it permission.
