Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

So after I've finished customizing my system. I went on downloading some apps. One of the first apps was steam.
The download went smoothly however whenever i try to open it i get the following issue : https://gist.github.com/shinpei-hash/d579b9bd64f3f91ec3663fc1431e29af

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install Arch
  2. Install nvidia-open, nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils
  3. Install dwl. (I guess).

Hello @shinpei-hash, src/steamexe/updateui_xwin.cpp (341) : Could not open connection to X is a decent hint in your console_log.txt. Double check that the xorg-xwayland system package is installed and dwl is configured to have xwayland enabled. Apparently this is in the desktop environment's config.mk.

You were right on! I had xorg-xwayland installed but i've forgot about dwl config.mk. It has solved my issue! Thank you very much.
