Hello! I’m new to Silverblue but I have been using Workstation 35 KDE for a couple of months already.
I learned I could layer packages in case Flatpak was causing trouble or otherwise didn’t provide what I needed. However the particular package for Steam is causing me trouble.
Here’s the log:

And then it hangs there. journalctl indicates the transaction times out after one minute [Forcibly closing transaction due to timeout]
I tried to dump the output into a text file however the error was not dumped there. It only appears on the terminal. I don’t know what that means but it’s worth mentioning.
Here is some more output:
