I tried to run my nobara drive after a while of using my windows drive and i ran into some issues. after resolving them, i tried to run steam and it just kept crashing. i tried running it from the terminaland it gave me the crash ID: CrashID=bp-f6432f7d-508e-4fd5-85e7-8b3242260225 which i have no idea what to do with.

I tried removing and reinstalling steam but it still keeps crashing.

I tried to install steam from flatpost and that one works but i can't access my old steam game files from the flatpost steam. Any ideas on what i can try?

Hello @KR1MS0NK, src/vgui2/src/surface_linux.cpp (1956) : glXChooseVisual failed in your console-linux.txt hints towards a video driver issue similar to #11631.

Can you check if any 32 bit OpenGL application like glxinfo32 from glx-utils-9.0.0-10.fc43.i686.rpm (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=43590105) works?
