  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora 38 KDE
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam does not want to open when it is executed from the .desktop file, but if I open it with the "steam" command from the terminal, it works without problems. When opening the file to see the problem in more detail, notice that the parameter
PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true is the one that causes the conflict, I don't know if this detail was already reported, I have a Ryzen 5 7600X and a 6800XT GPU, I don't know if the launcher is confused with the graphics that is on the processor and not with the dedicated one , by setting the parameter to false, it works without problems.
