Description

Installed Steam Flatpack from Discover on the Tuxedo OS Debian beta. Launched Steam, after lengthy loading (unfortunately typical of Steam, Flatpak or not, on first launch) a dialog box informs me Steam can't launch due to missing 32-bit libraries.

Fixable by giving Steam Flatpak access to system libraries. Would be nice not to have to fix, though, from an end-user standpoint.

Research direction

Reproduce the launch failure by installing the Steam Flatpak through Discover on the Tuxedo OS Debian beta and observe the missing 32-bit libraries dialog. Inspect how the Flatpak accesses system libraries; done means Steam launches without requiring the end user to apply a manual library-access fix.
