  I don’t recall ever needing the --user option, if the command is ran by the user.

  if you were running the command via sudo, then yes, you would want the --user option.

  Understand that flatpaks can be installed system wide, or on a per user basis.

  if you are not careful you can install the same flatpak system wide when you just wanted it installed by the one user.

  I wasted a lot of disk space and time before I learned how flatpak works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should i wait a Sale to buy the Steam Deck?? | [Discussion]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  if you wait for a sale, there may be a big rush on orders, and it may take longer to get one, once you do order.

  look at the old sale prices to see if the discount is worth it for you for any potential delays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I use ProtonVPN on my Steam Deck in desktop mode?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ProtonVPN supports the OpenVPN client , so you can import your proton VPN settings in to that, no need for the official proton VPN GUI client.

  However you do lose some of the more advanced features of proton VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleep has been broken for months on my device.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have seen a similar issue a few times, but not regularly, and I have not seen it since the last update.

  I could see the game running, if I hit the menu/steam button, it would show up under the steam menus.

  I could even hear the game sounds and music.

  a reboot normally fixed things.

  I have also had sleep issue where the deck would wake up, then go back to sleep after impressed the power button. I set the auto sleep timeout to be never, and have not seen this happen any longer.

  it’s like the deck woke up, checked the clock, and decided it was idling for the proper timeout to auto sleep.
