I had issues with certain games crashing when run from Steam installed via Flatpak. It's not permission issues, but seems to be due to the Flatpak version bundled different system libraries. Have you encounter such issue on your end?

I haven’t, but I’m assuming those were (possibly old) Linux native games? Since proton shouldn’t have any dependency issues, especially since Steam installs that itself.

I have seen this, if I recall correctly, on an NVIDIA system. I suspect the Flatpak had trouble working with the (proprietary) driver.

I think it was MESA-related, but strangely only some games were having issues.
