Older games? What are you talking about? They say in that thread that Valve doesn’t release 64bit versions of Steam. That means any games through Steam using the official client would be unplayable.

The flatpak should still work. Though I agree it's a problem.

The flatpak has its own issues. Namely, that Steam was never meant to be run like that, so you run into bugs the native version doesn’t have.

The two solutions I've seen presented in the thread for the Steam problem are to run Steam in a flatpak or a distrobox. I'm not sure if using distrobox has the same issues as flatpak.

I want to say no, but I'm sure if I did somebody who has tried that would pipe up with a problem they found.
