I checked the shortcut to see what the command is (right-click, properties): steam steam://rungameid/648800 Is that what you have? The only thing I can think of is that steam isn't in your path, ie when you double click the shortcut it tries to run 'steam' but then can't find it. If you open a terminal and type: which steam what's your output? You should have something like /usr/bin/steam permalink fedilink source parent
