Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): not sure, but probably the latest stable version as of creating this issue (pacman steam package version is 1.0.0.78-2)
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
Steam Logs: steam_logs.tar.gz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I open Steam normally, and about one second after the main window opens (with "Store", "Library", "Community", etc. at the top), it closes, and the Steam tray icon disappears. This just recently started occurring (some time within the last few days I think), potentially after updating some packages. I've also tried the Steam Native Runtime, and the same thing occurs.

DE is KDE Plasma 5.27.10-1, Wayland version.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Start Steam normally.
Wait for the main Steam window to appear.
The main Steam window will close shortly after it appears.

The crash can also be observed in journalctl: https://gist.github.com/daigennki/28ee6024fcfa06cd94ba298defcdb2d5

It might be worth noting that I do not get the issue on my laptop (latest Steam version, Arch Linux, KDE Plasma Wayland, all packages updated). It has an RTX 3060 as the discrete GPU, but its CPU is a Ryzen 5800H so its integrated GPU gets used outside of games. Maybe there's some weird configuration issue with my desktop PC?

Looks like all I had to do was steam --reset. Now it works fine. I probably should've thought of some way to reset settings earlier. Sorry about that!
