I’m on arch and I download my games on an external drive to save space, but most of the time when I plug it in I does not show (though after 10 min of unplugging and plugging it works) and it’s so frustrating. And I just switched to the flatpak steam version as most of my games would not launch on the one I got from (sudo pacman -Syu steam), but the drive will never show on the flatpak one.
(the drive would never show up on the terminal version i got either, just sometimes i get lucky and it lets me open games)
That was already done from the start when I got the flatpak version.
