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.

    If you haven’t found a solution as of yet, passing the -vgui flag 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 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.

        Yup new interface and everything. It’s all fine and actually works smooth as butter.

    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.
