Hi Stu,
What if you remove Software from the scenario. Can you install steam
from flathub using flatpak directly?
flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
It "works on my computer", but when it comes to Steam, that's hardly a
sign of success. What error about drivers are you getting (you
reference a screenshot, but I don't see one attached to the email).

Hello everyone,
At this week's meeting, Paul and Ryan asked me to work on a short
article
about the gaming platform Steam as you can now install it as a
Flatpak
<
http://flatpak.org> app using Flathub <
http://flathub.org>.
Unfortunately,
I've hit a couple of problems. BTW I understand this isn't Stack
Overflow
and my rookie mistakes might be a little frustrating!
Anyway, after I'd set up Flatpak/Flathub, I installed Steam using
Gnome
Software (which appears to be recommended). However, I couldn't run
Steam
after installation because I was missing some drivers (see
screenshot).
When I couldn't find the drivers on the internet, I uninstalled Steam
and
used these instructions
<
https://linuxconfig.org/installing-steam-on-fedora-25-linux> to
install
Steam the normal way to check if it worked. That was fine and,
ironically,
told me how to fix my driver problem at the same time.
The problem I have now is that I can't install Steam at all using
Gnome
Software. The install button disappears after I click it, only to
reappear
a few moments later, and the download % bar doesn't appear at all. It
works
fine when I install Steam with Flathub at the command line, though.
What I need is someone to check that they can install and run Steam
using
Flathub and Gnome Software. I then could write the article once I
know it
works, but, to be fair, I'd feel a bit of douche writing something
knowing
I couldn't get it to work properly myself!
Apologies for the hassles,
Stu Brady
