Hello @nomadfh, this issue is already being tracked at ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#12127. Closing in favor of the older issue report.
That issue seems to be different from mine. That user seems to have a record of the screenshot being taken and can't open the file (with an error), whereas I have no record of the screenshot happening at all, other than the sound.
I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt and transferred this issue report to the steam-for-linux issue tracker because it would need to be evaluated on the Steam client / Steam overlay side, not the OS / Distro side, but ... something's gone awry with GitHub and I'm unable to re-open this issue report after the transfer.

Gotcha, will do. For some added context, screenshots work perfectly fine in desktop mode.

FYI, I have solved my issue by deleting this file:
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/userdata/(your steam id)/760/screenshots.vdf
I'm not sure what causes this problem, but someone on reddit referred me to this solution.
I should note, that now it seems the steamdeck reboots each time I take a screenshot.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Screenshots taken in game mode either using the hot key of steam+r1 or using built in screenshot keys do not actually save a screenshot and just makes the noise as if it did. Weirdly enough after booting into a game, taking a screenshot of the main menu doesn't even do anything. If I reboot my system, I can take a screenshot of them main menu, but once I boot into a game, I can no longer do that again.
Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen.
I'm expecting to take a screenshot and see the screenshot in my media or saved anywhere else, but it doesn't seem to save anywhere
Steps for reproducing this issue:
EDIT:
I solved this issue by deleting this file in desktop mode:
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/userdata/(your steam id)/760/screenshots.vdf
returning to desktop mode will have you greeted with all of your failed screenshot attempts, so be prepared for that.
