If you change this file, run ‘grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg’ afterwards to update
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
Uncomment to set your own custom distributor. If you leave it unset or empty, the default
policy is to determine the value from /etc/os-release
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=8
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“mitigations=auto quiet security=selinux selinux=1”
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“”
Uncomment to automatically save last booted menu entry in GRUB2 environment
variable `saved_entry’
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=“true”
#Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD …)
this is what mine looks like where should I insert ia32_emulation=1
As you seem to struggle a little bit with terminal and stuff, we will make it a little bit easier for you.
We will install an additional texteditor which is capable of beeing run as root. In a terminal:
sudo zypper in kwrite
Now we open the file we want to edit with the former installed texteditor with elevated rights:
SUDO_EDITOR=kwrite sudoedit /etc/default/grub
You have now opened the file in a graphical editor.
Now change following line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“mitigations=auto quiet security=selinux selinux=1”
so that it looks like that:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“mitigations=auto quiet security=selinux selinux=1 ia32_emulation=1”
Save the file and exit the editor.
Open a terminal and execute following command:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
If you haven’t it done already install the mentioned additional packages:
sudo zypper in steam-devices selinux-policy-targeted-gaming
Now reboot your box and test if Steam still complains.
Hi I did follow all steps I did not give any error restarted when I click on steam nothing happens I unistalled it and rinstalled from Flatpak but always when I click on it nothing happens
sorry now it opened after 3 o 4 minutes thanks for the help
You may want to start Flatpak Steam via terminal and have a look for a hint why it takes so long to open:
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
thank you for the help
I prefer just pressing ‘i’ or ‘a’ myself, as that lets you operate where the cursor is, rather than working at the bottom. Then to exit that mode, press esc.
I also tend to use ZZ to write and exit, rather than :wq! or :wq, but there are definitely many ways to actually do this. For new users, nano is a bit easier to use.
Well, I made a mistake there. It should be i ora.
I blush, but I added the :s later, thus worsening the post 
Of course I do it correct when using vi myself, but that is only automatic after so many years of using it.
And yes, suggesting another editor is a good idea. Who wants to learn vi nowadays?
The “easier” would have been
update-bootloader --add-option ia32_emulation=1
update-bootloader --config
Not vi crash course in two minutes.

If you want to make an out of context quote, sure. The easier way was not vi but a full GUI editor after it got clear that the vi approach was a little bit to complicated for the TO.
