Steam offers an distro-independent runtime for native Linux games' distribution, which is based on Flatpak [1] [1] https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-r

  It’s not based on Flatpak, it’s based on the same technology of flatpak, which is linux containers/namespaces. It’s clickbait at best, if not ragebait.

  IIRC they aren't based on Flatpak, they existed even before Flatpak gained any traction. I actually do think Steam changed a few things in pressure-vessel to be more similar to Flatpak, but they mostly evolved independently. The main reason I think they are pouring money into Flatpak is because that is the main way to install applications on SteamOS (that aren't games shipped via Steam).
