  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1740182889
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Devuan daedalus
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: yes
  • Steam Logs: see below
  • GPU: AMD navi23

Clicking on certain in-game links (any game which tries to open web pages) should, depending on the URL, open the URL directly in Steam's main window or cause a browser to be launched (via x-www-browser, sensible-browser or xdg-open). Nothing happens.

Similarly, nothing happens if I do the equivalent in a terminal window:

steam steam://openurl/https://steampowered.com/
