Steam client version (build number or date): Latest
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu Derivative
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: No
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Observed behaviour: the ~/.config/autostart/steam.desktop and ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop files are different, and editing one does not update the other. This is an issue if/when someone would add arguments to the steam launcher .desktop file for experimental purposes, such as activating Pipewire support manually.
Requested fix:
Make it a symlink, so that Run Steam when my computer starts creates a link to ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop instead of copying its contents.
This might not always be the desired behaviour. Sometimes you might want the autostart file to have -silent in the Exec field to autostart steam in the background, without opening any windows.
