Installing Steam from BOTH package and Flathub? Any gotchas? (lemmy.world)

As the title says, I am looking to install both the package version (on OpenSuse Tumbleweed) and Flatpak version. I've been running the package version for awhile and it's been fine but I want to play with the Flatpak version to see how that compares - partially because I may eventually go for an immutable distro.

I know how to do this, I am just curious if I shouldn't do it or if there anything I should be aware of. Will my game library just work between the two?

Works great for me on Fedora 39.
