In my example, I do not have an issue.
Bloodyrain989 Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:37pm 
Like my steam deck has Firefox there ready to download why can’t it just download :(
Bloodyrain989 Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:38pm 
I have no idea how to copy and paste from steam deck to phone
deaddoof Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:40pm 
Can you show the error log? I am not psychic. Copy and paste the error into the steam forum.
deaddoof Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:41pm 
Phone? Can you open steam client in desktop mode ?
Bloodyrain989 Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:45pm 
I just typed in the first one into konsole but before it I typed install and it says nonstick file or directory
Bloodyrain989 Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:46pm 
I’m in desktop mode I have internet connected but no browser
Bloodyrain989 Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:46pm 
No way to post on forums
Bloodyrain989 Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:56pm 
Going to bed trying again tm after work

I couldn't figure out how to get a custom image to steam cloud. I annotated a screen show to show how to start the steam client in desktop mode. Right trigger click the steam icon.

The Steam Client is automatically running on the Desktop. It has a browser built in so you can open the forums inside the Desktop Steam Client. No external browser required to post the error message.

1. alt+f2

2. Enter "konsole"

3. Enter "flatpak install --verbose flathub org.mozilla.firefox "

If it doesn't work, please post the error output here.


Привет всем рабочим и крестьянам из заснеженной Российской империи. Данный способ работает.


Это не так сложно как кажется.

Hey, we're trying. But I would like it to be a little more sugarcoated
