Hello, just started using Linux (I'm on cinnamon 21.3) and I'm having some really annoying problems that I can't find solutions for online. (self.linuxmint)

1- Sometimes the file manager just won't open and I get the error "Could not register nemo as a remote: Timeout was reached" when running it through the command line

2- Steam doesn't work most of the time, games won't launch, downloads won't pause and I can't exit out of steam, however, I can still navigate around the app.

Has anyone else ran into these issues and how are they solved?

Does mint really have you install a steam .deb file?

Mint doesn't have you do anything. If offers Steam in their Software Manager (system package), like I said. I was simply relaying experiences from other users who recommend the .deb for it having the least problems of all methods.
