Apparently Steam changed the directory layout recently!
Note: If you are an Ubuntu user, the Steam installs to folder
~/.local/share/Steam. However, new version of Steam installs to folder~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common.

1 year ago If I confirm this, the user is launching one game, but it's using the other installation on the PWD. This is pretty bad...

1 year ago User reported that running from the SDCard fixed the problem.
So, apparently, on Steam Deck the "canonical" files are going into /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/ and the users files into /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/
I'm trying to find some documentation about the matter.

1 year ago To think is a very healthy habit, you now? I think I should try doing it more frequently.
Steam Deck runs over SteamOS, and there's a fork to run it on PCs.

I need to build a Steam Machine on some old hardware I have laying around, so I can properly validate Deck support without the need to wait something happening on a user's machine - and being reported (as most user's don't report problems, just quit).

5 months ago I own a Steam Deck now. More than due time to have this solved!
I'm unsure if this is an enhancement, a bug, or a support call - so I'm flagging it as a task until I have enough information to figure it out.
Fellow Kerbonaut AZZlyTheAZZome got bitten by this alert from KSPe:
KSP.log
The APPROOT and the PWD are not matching:
/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program//home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program/What's pretty weird, as this doesn't looks like a manual intervention…
See what's happening.
