from what i understand mount mounts it everytime you reboot is it is enabled while automount mounts on request kinda like socket triggered services, which are services that run when socket is hit

Great video!! i have something similar on a Raspi4. But why not use the fstab method instead?

I am also using steam on hyprland and having the same issues with menus in steam. I found the following window rules solve the issue.

windowrulev2 = stayfocused, title:^()$, class:^(steam)$
windowrulev2 = minsize 1 1, title:^()$, class:^(steam)$
