2It seems fine for .5 of a second
3Doesn't respond to any interaction.
4Has to be killed or just wait till it crashes.

Start up Steam

So I ran:

steam --reset, didn't work
steam --flush, frozen for 1.5 secs then works fine?

Link above is what the terminal spits out. Still says lot's of (errors?) things

I'm closing this as it seems to be fine.

For anyone else with this issue, please run steam --flush
