      add a secondary storage device to my steam library.

      You mean have more than one steam library? That’s a steam setting. Nothing to do with KDE. Gnome, Debian or Fedora.

      The flatpak works,

      Oh. There’s your issue. Don’t run steam as a flatpak, there might be sandboxing issues.

      EDIT: MF did you read the page you downloaded stuff from:

      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

          Well, I’m using KDE and I set up a library eight months ago and… yes there’s a bug. Just checked. Not entirely the same but related to this:

          https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9797

          There’s an official workaround mentioned there.

          I guess KDE updated their portal protocol version some time in between and steam got doubly confused. Probably not a KDE bug, in particular because this kind of stuff is happening for many, many portal implementations.

          And it’s not a dolphin window (with me) btw it’s a qt filepicker. Says “portal” at the end in the title, kde logo to the left.

      I have like five libraries, I went ahead and just tried to add another one to see if it was a regression and unfortunately I can’t reproduce. Then again I’ve always been a KDE Arch user I don’t know if that has anything to do with it maybe I just missed this bug
