From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's great if the pak meets your needs. For Steam the pak didn't meet my needs because it doesn't allow you to add additional library locations. As long as it's set up in a way that works for you then it's a big time saver.
I haven't tried it but doesn't flatseal let you setup steam's permissions to allow external/additional directories or mounts?
What's stopping steam's access to other directories?
It works when set up with flatseal.
