Hello everyone!

when I install Steam from rpmfusion-nonfree repository, I get the following error:

# dnf install steam

Error:
 Problem: problem with installed package pipewire-0.3.71-2.fc38.x86_64
  - package steam-1.0.0.76-1.fc38.i686 from rpmfusion-nonfree requires (pipewire-alsa(x86-32) if pipewire), but none of the providers can be installed

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

‘–skip-broken’, also does not work.

I don’t want to use Steam from flathub, because it has overhead.

Thanks for any help.

What overhead in particular are you concerned with? Disk space, or performance, or something else?

Do you use nodejs from modular?

What is the output of dnf module list --enabled

Reset the module:

dnf module reset nodejs

Everything is fine. Thanks for the advice!

it’s about performance, which affected by seccomp.

Yeah, it’s a reasonable concern. Upstream issue here: Performance impact of seccomp filter in games · Issue #4187 · flatpak/flatpak · GitHub

For me, constraining software so it can’t do arbitrary things on my system is more important than a few percent of performance — but I don’t tend to play games where that’s a really big deal, anywhere.
