savestates are saved in $HOME/.local/share/flycast by default on linux so check that this folder exists and is writable.
There is obviously something wrong on your machine.

$HOME/.local/share/flycast does not exist on my device so yeah, there is definitely something wrong.

Check the Flycast Settings > General tab and look for Data Folder. This is where savestates are saved on your system.

I was able to find it in $HOME/deck/.var/app/org.flycast.Flycast/data/flycast/, should I change it to $HOME/.local/share/flycast?

No, check that VMU saves and savestates are saved in this folder, that flycast has permissions to write to it, etc.

This should not usually be necessary, but you can still try to fix Flycast's permissions via Flatseal.
Hope this helps...

If the .bin files are the savestates and vmu saves, then yes, they are stored in the folder.
