Trying to play games on Steam nuked my system on Spirallinux (Framework 13 amd laptop)
Hi, I do rarely posting things on lemmy or frankly speaking this is my first time. I hope this meet this sub rules, despite it's a Spirallinux (it's still debian right?) problem or possible a framework system problem.
A strange problem appears when I install a steam game and try to start it. When the game tries to launch, the screen just freezes for a moment with the logo of the game start screen. After a few seconds the screen went black and the cursor poped up without the possibillity getting to the tty.
At first I had an system with an encrypted disk. When I installed Baldur's Gate on my system and started the game, the system crashes and the only thing I could do was pushing the power button. After reboot trying to enter my passphrase, the encryption manager always reported me that I entered the wrong phrase. I gave up since I couldn't even manage my snaps to rollback. I thought it was a critical bug from the game.
When I deleted my drive and tried to set up a new system I gave another game a chance. This time it was The Talos principle 2. Same problem. The system crashed with the only option pushing the power button. But this time I installed my system without encryption so I could enter my snaps on boot. The problem here is that several of the latest snaps were corrupted. Only the older ones were still working (snaps from 2 or 3 days ago).
The newer ones reports shows failing to start some podman-restart.service, podman-auto-update.service and networking.service.
Steam is from the debian repository.
My system:
OS: Spirallinux (Debian 12)
Kernel: Backport 6.5.0
From a privacy and security perspective, it’s mostly better to run non free software in something like flatpak. At least it provides some layer of isolation from the rest of the system.
