We may potentially be in for some big changes in Fedora 44, with plans in place being discussed to drop 32-bit multilib / i686 packages.

    Maybe Steam could just bundle the needed 32 bit libs for Fedora until they can get a 64 bit only version ready.

      Does the Steam Flatpak already do that or would it need to be changed to do that?

        Flatpaks don’t use system libraries.

          Meaning the libraries should already be included in the Flatpak right?

          Sorry, I’m a noob trying to understand what the possible solutions are.
