I have no idea about alacritty since I use foot (its also minimal and fast) but I can throw in my two cents on the Steam thing;
Did you check the '/home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam' file?
I find it a bit confusing, since AFAIK steam hould start from /usr:
Code: [Select]
$ pacman -F steam      
multilib/steam 1.0.0.78-1
    usr/bin/steam
    usr/lib/steam/steam
