[FEATURE REQUEST][LINUX] - Add option to change the steam executable

[arthurdead]

currently on linux r2modman opens steam with the steam runtime and that takes a long ass time please add a option to change the steam executable so i can open up steam without the runtime

also while i dont use it myself some people may want to use LSI (https://github.com/solus-project/linux-steam-integration) and adding a option to change the executable will help with that as well

This behaviour is fully intentional because some games such as Risk of Rain 2 are unable to start or may have problems with networking should the exe be used instead of the Steam client.

[arthurdead]

how is that relevant to anything i suggested ?

i asked for a option to change the steam executable itself (Steam.sh) so i can disable the steam runtime

[ebkr]

I wasn’t aware there was a native version.

I can look into adding a way to use the STEAM_RUNTIME=0 environment variable.

thank you very much :)

Possibly related here, I tried launching under Linux with the Flatpak version of Steam to pretty great failure (steam tried launching but errored out with missing libraries) as I believe it tried launching directly rather than through Flatpak (without the appropriate flatpak tools/runtimes required).
