Install Steam via Bazzite-Arch

Hi, so far I used Steam via the Flatpak which most of the time worked fine. Occasionally some stuff doesnt work tho and getting games into the application menu is a huge mess that require using custom python scripts which are dependent on Valve not releasing breaking changes to the api.

That’s why I wanted to try the Bazzite-Arch Distrobox. Unfortunately that approach seems very unstable, Steam crashes quite often, some games like Street Fighter 6 seemingly run without GPU acceleration and dont work in borderless windows mode.

Was there anything wrong with just using the ujust command distrobox-new? Did I need to configure anything else? Just installing it with the install instractions on Bazzite-Arch has the same issues btw.

My System:

OS: Bluefin-dx 40 (gts:nvidia)
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
RAM: 16GB

Update:

After starting it from commandline I am pretty sure its a vulkan issue. Steam starts with the messages

Vulkan missing requested extension 'VK_KHR_surface'.
Vulkan missing requested extension 'VK_KHR_xlib_surface'.
BInit - Unable to initialize Vulkan!

Those are both essential vulkan extensions which should be there and according to the packages everything is there. So I have no idea how to fix this :frowning:
