    • According to upstream, Valve's Pressure Vessel and Flatpak's Bubblewrap are incompatible with each other because they both use namespaces.

      This is an upstream issue:

      https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/294

      Importing the latest versions of these ebuilds with light changes for Funtoo appears to make things work:

      dev-util/ostree
      sys-apps/bubblewrap
      sys-apps/flatpak

      Note that bubblewrap must have USE=-suid.

      Random failures to start happen even after these changes, but it does not happen every time. This appears to be due to a race condition inside flatpak.

      Someone on discord who was having a polkit issue inspired me to try to reproduce it, only for me to find that Windows games that run in Proton do not work on Funtoo.
