hello folks, so, i use fedora, and i have steam installed as flatpak, i tried this suggestion i relaxed the flatpak, and log out, but the .desktop files are still in the /home/${USER}/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/applications/ how i "force" the steam to re-create the .desktop files?

thank you!

(btw i just want the start-menu icons, i don't put shortcuts in the desktop :)

oh, i can just generate a .desktop file in my desktop, and copy it to the correctly location, anyway, thank you for answering!

No worries. Yeah I ran into this same issue with flatpak steam and got it mostly working about a year ago and then distro hopped. Lost the changes for some reason and just didn't bother fixing it lol. Glad you got it working!!
