Notice: Some Linux (Flatpak) users having issues! [FIXED]
Hi there.
I just want to let everybody know that we've been informed that some Linux (Flatpak) users are having issues running Krita through Steam at the moment. I'm in the process of trying to find out what went wrong and I'll let you all know as soon as it's fixed.
UPDATE: This problem appears to only be affecting Linux users who have Steam installed through Flatpak. It seems like the Krita AppImage will fail to mount while inside the Flatpak container environment. However, there is a workaround, because you can still launch the AppImage that Steam gives you from outside of Steam (either using a file browser to navigate to it, wherever your Steam content is installed, or from a terminal). Alternatively, you may just want to use a non-Flatpak Steam install for now. We want to make sure Krita works well for all of our users, so I will do my best to figure out a way to solve this Flatpak/Steam/AppImage incompatibility in the future.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your support.

UPDATE: As of the latest patch, this problem as been fixed. Krita should now work equally well for all Linux users regardless of how you have Steam installed. Please continue to let our small team know if something isn't working the way it should. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
