Hello @loject, if you completely close Steam, then run steam from a terminal, does it behave? I suspect this is the same issue as #9383.
Thanks for checking, it would be better to add a note to the older issue report.
I suspect you have your display connected to the dGPU and the DE's integrated / discrete context menu options are actually swapped from what you'd expect. Steam -> Help -> System Information -> Video Card should have which GPU the Steam client is rendering itself with in the working case.
Closing in favor of #9383.
System Information shows Steam running on discrete GPU
Driver: AMD AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (radeonsi, navi31, LLVM 19.1.1, DRM 3.58, 6.11.0-13-generic)

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I have a fresh Ubuntu 24.10 installation with an AMD Ryzen 7950X3D CPU (which has an integrated GPU) and a discrete AMD Radeon 7900XTX. When I launch Steam from the applications menu on the discrete GPU, the system tray icon appears, but the main Steam window never shows up. However, if I launch Steam using the integrated GPU (via the “Launch using integrated graphics card” option), the client opens normally without any issues.
I have tried:
--no-cef-sandboxor--disable-gpu-sandboxX Error of failed request: BadWindow.debNothing has resolved the issue for the discrete GPU. The exact same commands work fine if I specify integrated graphics or run it from the terminal with integrated graphics.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
