Hey everyone! The name already gives a hint. I just updated POP_OS and switched to KDE Plasma desktop. But I’m having trouble getting Steam to turn on at login—it’s not fully grayed out, but I can’t interact with it. Any advice or tips would be super helpful! Thanks!

Check the first three settings and then add Steam.

I installed Steam via POP_shop and then reused it using the Discover package manager. I'm not sure why this method succeeded, but I appreciate your assistance!
