Turns out that snapd REALLY hates /usr/bin and won't let us have desktop files unless
we have our binaries inside the /bin directory.

Tracking as a "don't forget".

OpenCL mightn't come up that often but we should still ensure we can cope with it by providing
at minimum beignet as a backup, working in upstream snapd to expose the OCL ICD definitions, send a patch to Khronos to support a new OCL_ICD_FILENAMES variable and finally ensure snapd also makes the cuda libraries available.

Inside this snap we'll also need to add the OCL ICD loader.

What is the difference between what you present with steam in flatpak format?

Currently all steam play games fail with not found: python3

Got the package ready, we'll need LSI to expose the bulk of the shim as a new lsi-exec binary that we can utilise within the snap. This will let us execute other commands such as glxgears while letting LSI perform all the necessary bootstrap of the environment, and then ensure any process launched is done so in an identical fashion to how we launch Steam.

This will let us expose 4 new apps:

• glxgears
• glxgears-32
• glxinfo
• glxinfo-32

This is purely for debugging LSI compatibility, and allowing users to verify their drivers work correctly when getting Steam installed. From our perspective we can ask anyone who opens a bug report about steamui.so libGL.so.1 style errors to first run snap run linux-steam-integration.glxgears-32 to actually verify they have 32-bit driver support.

Steam Runtime and Steam Native runs fine.
