Description
Hello dear developers,
I wanted to make a quick comment about the Steam OS updates.
When Steam starts in Big-Picture mode, if we go into the system settings to do a full OS update, the Flatpaks are not updated.
We need to switch to office mode to make the flatpak updates.
However, from what I have seen, Mesa is updated via the Flatpaks. And Mesa is an important component to update for AMD graphics cards.
I don’t know what the command is in Arch, but under Debian it is:
apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y && flatpak update -y && flatpak uninstall --unused -y
It would be good if you included him...
Best regards.

Research direction
Start by reproducing a full OS update from Big-Picture mode, then compare it with the office-mode update flow. Confirm whether Flatpak updates are skipped in Big-Picture mode; done means the full OS update also handles Flatpaks without requiring a switch to office mode.
