I recent built a brand new computer and did a fresh install of Fedora 39. I cannot get Steam to open after logging in though. The steamwebhelper will crash immediately after the login swirl.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install Fedora 39 Workstation
  2. Install/enable rpmfusion free and nonfree
  3. Install Steam dnf install steam
  4. Update and reboot the system dnf update --refresh ; reboot
  5. Start Steam
  6. Login (i've tried both steamguard and username/password)
  7. Steam will crash

Okay, figured it out. This is due to an MSI bios setting, specifically Setting>Advanced>Integrated Graphics Configuration. If it's set to UMA Auto it'll crash steam as described in the report, if it's disabled Steam works as expected.
