Is it just me or… Since the last update tester day on Arch Linux I haven’t been able to start steam on Wayland and on Xorg i can start steam but not any game.
I can’t confirm any problems on Pop_OS with steam. It’s working fine as usual.
Maybe try starting the steam client via terminal and see what the output errors are.
Do You have the New interface ? It stopped working at the same time.
No issues for me. Using the new interface since it dropped on the beta branch, which was a good while ago.
Yup new interface and everything. It’s all fine and actually works smooth as butter.

Works for me (also on Arch btw)

If you haven’t found a solution as of yet, passing the
-vguiflag to steam on launch fixed it for me. This launches Steam in the old UI, which seems to be a workaround for the time being.I’m not entirely sure what the core issue is, the consensus from what I’ve read so far seems to point to a Nvidia driver issue introduced in a recent update.
I installed Fedora and steam works but Bottles and Lutris don’t.
I managed to install my games on Bottles and Lutris by login on Gnome Xorg instead of Wayland, so the problem was related to Wayland/Nvidia just like a cuople of years ago.
I had the same problem, after I followed the instructions of this comment it worked again.
Thank you
Works for me on manjaro. If you run it from a terminal, do you get any informative output?
I wanted to make a clean Linux install so I could also see if the problem persisted on another distro. So from Arch to Fedora the problem is still there, I believe it comes from Wayland/Nvidia/Steam which have issues since the last Steam. update but I can still play windows games on Bottles/Wayland/Nvidia.
On fedora it worked after installing the drivers, I don’t know what happened on arch, problem solved
