Hello @soerko, please copy the contents of Steam Runtime Diagnostics from Steam (Steam -> Help -> Steam Runtime Diagnostics) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.
In particular, I'm curious what video driver version you're using is, if the driver's 32 bit userspace libraries are functional, and how it was installed.
I had this same issue and now it has escalated to new heights of kernel panic. My distro is manjaro but I run steam and wayland on nvidia, which seems to be causing some problems.
Here is the requested steam runtime report (I hope that I have done it correctly)
I'm using this video driver:
NVIDIA driver metapacke from nvidia-driver-560 (proprietary)
But the issue arises with all the drivers for my video card I have tried so far.
Here3 is another link if the one above doesn't work...
https://gist.github.com/soerko/379e74ce2f5aac9ea574fb04b49071ed#file-steam_runtime_diagnostics-txt
My video drivers have been installed through the normal 'additional drivers' system in Ubuntu
Thanks, https://gist.github.com/soerko/379e74ce2f5aac9ea574fb04b49071ed#file-steam_runtime_diagnostics-txt-L4344-L4351 is the section to focus on. Your NVIDIA driver install is missing the video driver's 32 bit userspace libraries and is being forced to fallback to llvmpipe (Mesa's faster CPU renderer) to run at all.
Try to add the libnvidia-gl-560:i386 system package with something like sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-560:i386. If that doesn't work, then switch to a different release series of the NVIDIA driver.
Thanks for the help.
I couldn't install the libnvidia-gl-560:i386 (it apparently doesn't exist in the repository) but changing to the
NVIDIA driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-550 (proprietary) driver worked as that could install the i386 part (and installed it automatically) fixed the issue!
Now steam works as it should and i can play games at more than 0.3 frame /second (yes that's no typo it was that slow)

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist
Steam does not shut down completely byt is left with several processes still running (especially the d3ddriverquery64.exe program)
I expect that this program hanging in a do_wai state is also the cause for all my games running increadibly slow for the last 2 weeks.
