I have installed steam on Antergos along with all the necessary dependencies. When I try to run steam from the terminal I get this back:

[mrryanguy@AntBook ~]$ steam
/home/mrryanguy/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 161: VERSION_ID: unbound variable

STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

What should I do to resolve these issues?

OpenGL does not appear to be working. This could be a configuration problem on your system or some of the known Steam runtime conflicts bugged here. Find a 32-bit OpenGL app like glxgears and make sure it works. If it does then you may be hitting the Steam runtime problems.

glxgears appears to be working fine. What should I do next?

My computer Acer Aspire V3-371 Intel Core i3-4030U. Steam won't start :/
Do you know any solution?

@panoramix92, your issue is most likely not related to this issue report. Take a look at the Arch workaround and see if it helps. In particular, libgpg-error is recently incompatible with Arch, and by extension Antergos.
