(Apologies on repost, accidentally closed previous and was unable to reopen it)

Window offers 5 options I can try to continue but non of them do anything. I've seen past threads on this topic but this looks like a symptom that is present among many underlying issues. Logs attached below; I have skimmed through them but not much of it makes sense to me.

This all started after coming back from a vacation. After booting computer, asked to perform updates. I relented. Steam worked just fine before leaving a week ago and did updates right when it turned on. I doubt anything else would have done anything, computer was off while gone, but i don't have proof the updates did it.

Steam client version (build number or date): I don't know I can't open Steam
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 24.04
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Possible in Beta but heavily doubt it
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes.
GPU: AMD

I've tried each option the pop-up window provides with no change.
ran steam noaccel
reboot
checking for updates
Switched from Wayland to Xorg then changed windows manager to KDE Plasma
complete uninstall, purge, delete ~/.steam (After pulling userdata and steamlibrary)
installed sdl2 (some log entries pointed to SDL problems)
