Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

On an AM5 system with integrated graphics and a discrete GPU set as the primary GPU, the steam client shows up as a black box and disappears. This problem goes away when you set PreferNonDefaultGPU=false or delete that hint in the .desktop file.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Make sure PreferNonDefaultGPU=true is in steam.desktop file.
  2. Launch steam
