Installing a steam game on a secondary drive

  • 772

I'm trying to install a steam game on a secondary drive. I have a partition set up and mounted at /media/impulse/{uuid}. However, when I open Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders > +, the directory picker doesn't list /mnt or /media. Why?

  1. You can fix that problem with install steam by Terminal and not the PopOS Shop flatpack.

    Step 1:

    sudo apt-get install steam -y

    When the installer is done, you start steam by terminal

    Step 2:

    steam

  2. I found the answer in the description of the app in Pop!_Shop:

    Note: To add a game library on another drive, first you need to grant the app access to it:

    flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/your/Steam/Library com.valvesoftware.Steam
