Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I'm using Linux Mint 21.2 Cinamon, a fresh install after building a new PC. I installed Steam from the steam page (https://store.steampowered.com/about/) but when I enter my credentials the system hangs on loading user data. After a while it give me an error message that it could not continue (Sign in to Steam is not responding). Could someone please help me?

I fixed the problem by deleting the Steam version downloaded from Steam's website and installing the FlatPak version

Nothing extracted yet.
