Hello @Juppstein. these look like some lines of interest from your steamwebhelper.log:
[0529/171415.493088:ERROR:gl_display.cc(508)] EGL Driver message (Critical) eglMakeCurrent: Failed to make the GLX context current
[0529/171415.493199:ERROR:gl_context_egl.cc(475)] eglMakeCurrent failed with error EGL_CONTEXT_LOST
Does completely closing Steam, then running steam -system-compose or steam -cef-disable-gpu workaround the issue? (from #10561)
I have the same problem, but only when GPU accelerated web views are enabled
steam -system-compose: Still black
steam -cef-disable-gpu: Fixed

Encountering the same problem, though it only appeared for me after killing all steamwebhelper processes as a temporary workaround for #9561
tested the two arguments, -system-compose did not solve the problem, but -cef-disable-gpu did.

steam -system-composeorsteam -cef-disable-gpuworkaround the issue? (from #10561)
It does work with cef-disable-gpu but not with system-compose
Also seeing this with a nvidia gpu. Disabling gpu accelerated web views solves it in my case but results in other problems.
In my case I see the problem in a manjaro installation with steam latest beta and using kde. My gpu is a gtx 970.
With gpu acceleration on web views disabled I get white flashes mostly until sometimes steam loads with the web views loading without a problem with the exception of store page broadcasts.
Broadcasting on store pages is not working globally in my system,. Tested with steam client, vivaldi, chrome and firefox. The broadcast videos never load on store pages.
-system-compose sems to have fixed it for me
arch/kde/wayland nv555 here
fedora 40 64bit, intel 12th gen, KDE - same issue. helping opt-out from beta (or beta_families) or steam -cef-disable-gpu
Same problem. Both -cef-disable-gpu and -system-composer (instead of "compose") fix the issue. Using stock Pop OS 22.04 and nvidia driver 555.58.02
Same problem with Intel iGPU (Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770). Using NVIDIA GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti) with __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam or steam -cef-disable-gpu solve the problem.

I am experiencing this with Steam beta client 1723601482 on Void Linux with an intel 1165G7 igpu (no NVIDIA). steam -cef-disable-gpu does workaround the issue.

This issue does not happen for me on the non-beta client.
Still having the issue with beta 1723685248
The next beta client update will have some fixes for this. Note that for this specific problem, you shouldn't need to use -cef-disable-gpu as a workaround. It should be enough to set -system-composer.
The issue seems to be solved.
Yup, can confirm that this seems to have been fixed in the recent updates 👍🏼

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Opening the store front with the latest beta version gives me a black screen instead of the store layout. Tried disabling/enabling GPU blocklist as well as jumping between menus before trying to open the store, but to no avail. Also no difference between big picture and regular mode.
