I’m hoping someone may be able to help with an issue I’m having:

I can install Mozilla VPN through desktop mode using the app store flatpak installer. I go through the setup and it works OK.
If I exit desktop mode and then come back to it later, I have to reinstall Mozilla VPN and go through setup again.

Is there a trick to installing Mozilla VPN on the Steam Deck so that it stays installed between reboots? I don’t recall having this problem after installing Firefox or Chrome or Edge.

      This is the important question. SteamOS is immutable, so unless you install a certain way (or one of a few certain ways), then you will lose it when you reboot and the OS initializes again.

      Installed through the “app store” from desktop mode, same as I did with other apps that work fine after reboot.

        You mean Discover Software Center? It should not uninstall then.

        Edit: in fact I just tried it and it works

          It was retained through a reboot and going back to desktop mode?

          I install it through the software center, same place I got chrome, firefox, and edge. I’m not doing anything special or anything hacjy.
