So the weird thing is that this issue was happening as soon as I opened the Steam client. I wasn’t even trying to launch a game.
But in any case, what I did was I installed the steam-native-runtime package, uninstalled it, and now the regular steam client doesn’t show that error anymore. I’m not quite sure what made it work.
However, it seems like I have a new issue. When I start the client, the Store page is completely black, and stays that way until I click on some other tab, and then I click back to the Store tab, upon which the Store page does load.
I know it may sound super basic, because it is, but I’ve learned basic is always a solid 1st fix attempt with Linux…I’d just reinstall the whole thing top to bottom. Recently had an update on my OS which kept failing (days), so eventually I reinstalled the associated packages from top to bottom then boom, update and restart to install. I see it kinda as a “did you power off and power back on the machine” IT tip though lol
Edit: In most distro’s, instead of “sudo install xxx” it’s “sudo reinstall xxx”
You don’t lose any of data in my experience, plus it can fix an array of problems!
