Hello @computer-conservative, can you check if any 32 bit OpenGL application like glxinfo32 -B from lib32-mesa-utils works?
Blind guess that you're using the NVIDIA proprietary driver, but didn't reinstall lib32-nvidia-utils to install the video driver's 32 bit userspace libraries, leading to #9752.

accidentally closed the issue apolgoies, so - yes 32bit opengl applications do run on my system perfectly, i will try https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9752#issuecomment-1668886195 though
Try seeing if you are actually running nvidia drivers using
glxinfo | grep renderer
although the nvidia kernel driver was in use, my renderer was still llvmpipe as I had forgotten to pass the DRM kernel parameter during boot via EFISTUB in the UEFI BIOS. rookie mistake! Now steam works again.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Alright, everything WAS fine until recently. I did a fresh Arch reinstall and of course I now have up to date drivers and everything. However, for some reason its not even opening.
I looked up the issue on the arch wiki, where it said I have to run
steam --vgui, i tried it. it didn't work. i tried deleting ~/.config/nvidia/GLCache, that also didn't fix my issue.
I have no idea what to do at this point.
