Symptoms

• Steam works
• Launching MTGA works
• Post-sign in / actually accessing the game triggers this ambiguous socket error
  • Only after signing in does "You have lost your connection to the server" show up.
• Moved ~/.local/share/steam/ to a larger harddrive w/ a symlink, assuming /home was low on space / maybe Arena is trying to cache locally (home is partitioned and definitely smaller than your average harddrive) - no change (Steam still works fine)

Reproduction

Suspecting this is a combo of hardware/software or missing firmware? Debian probably isn't the ideal OS for gaming, but it's what I like to use as my daily driver.

Also worth mentioning:

• I have disabled ipv6 at grub
• Disabled local firewall (but not router firewall) - no change; router firewall seems to not be an issue, as Arena works fine on Android using the same wifi network as the Debian machine
