Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Some external apps are really slow to start and stop when opened through steam. I tested this on my laptop and steam deck, same issue. (Steamdeck in SteamOS mode and Laptop with normal Steam)
I tested:

  • Brave (native) -> taking minutes if it starts at all. Flatpack version works fine, started directly works fine too
  • Jellyfin Media Player (native) -> same as brave
  • kclock (native) -> works fine

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Add Jellyfin Media Player to steam
  2. Open it through Steam
  3. Wait
  4. Most of the time it will open eventually
