So I am on linuxmint 22, Should I install the Flatpak version of steam (It’s not available, but should I, if it was) or whatever that Steam gives you (.DEB file) ??

You have to read further. To quote some of it:
“You use steam-installer from Ubuntu repos. There is also the official .deb installer from Valve Their differences: a) Valve’s Steam & steam dependencies get updates. Ubuntu package does not. For now in Mint 22 this is not a problem. Both packages are in the same version or they were the last time I checked but this was quite recently. b) Ubuntu package still uses an obsolete folder layout in your “home” that official Steam doesn’t follow any longer. It was creating some problems.”
This is an older thread but as I said, it was just an example. There’s tons more on that forum.
I did: a) as said elsewhere in this post steam auto update, the package version is not relevant. b) this is 5 years old.
