Desktop: Add udev rules for Steam devices#148
Conversation
Fixes https://github.com/orgs/elementary/discussions/866 This only adds 20KB It sounds like to complete Steam support we also need to pull in `steam-libs` but this adds a bunch of other packages like `curl` and `zenity` and `fonts-liberation`. It's like 2 MB altogether. I wonder if we can get away with just manually including `libasound2-plugins` and `libva-glx2` if that would solve it

Actually I wonder if we even need |
Unfortunately I don't have the spare hardware to test this, apologies. |

Note: I hope to be able to test this out this weekend on a fresh install. |

Update: I tested with the following and Baldur's Gate 3 and Hades II run at unplayable frame rates...
It looks like "steam-libs" is providing more here than just that one package for performance. I will leave my system as-is if you can get back to me with next steps. Thank you! |

It sounds like there isn't a mechanism for Steam to interface with udev in Flatpak at the moment and it's unclear what the roadmap is upstream.
