I tried disabling sddm, enabling steam-standalone, and reboot. That service failed. I tried logging in as steam and startx, but user steam didn't have the right permissions.
Please explain how this package is meant to be used. For now, I've removed it along with user 'steam'

Just to see what would happen, I set a password for user 'steam' with 'sudo passwd steam'. From SDDM, I don't see the option for a steam session, so just logged into user 'steam' using the Xfce session. I got the default Xfce desktop and from there tried 'sudo systemctl start steam-standalone`. Again, nothing happened.

OK, when I logged out of Xfce, SDDM gave me the option to log in as steam, but what's the password? I tried the same password I use with Xfce, and also with Steam, but neither worked.

OK, I installed it, but "sudo systemctl start steam-standalone"
does not do anything that I can see. How do I "Launch steam bigpicture with systemd."?
Comment by Fabioamd87
is possible to have someting like:
"systemctl start steam"
instead of "systemctl start steam-standalone"
for example like xbmc does?
thanks.
