Your system information

  • Current version of Steam
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • GPU: Nvidia

I tried:

sudo apt purge steam
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

rm -r ~/.steam
rm -r ~/.local/share/Steam

sudo apt install steam

It installs, and when I run it, it updates and then crashes on the same error as above.

Nothing extracted yet.
