Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): I don't know how to find this without Steam launching. It should be whatever the latest version is
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Manjaro
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No]
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No]
  • Steam Logs: [generate by running this command in a terminal tar -zcvf ~/Desktop/steam-logs.tar.gz ~/.steam/steam/logs] I have no clue what to do with this
  • GPU: Nvidia/Intel/AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

I just went to start Steam one day and it segfaulted. I tried everything that ChatGPT told me to (yes, I know, AI bad, however, I just want to play my games).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run steam in a terminal

EDIT: The problem only appears to happen in hyprland, Plasma works fine

Figured I should probably include some logs
