Only big picture mode, desktop mode works fine.
.steam/bin/panorama/etc/fonts/conf.d/41-repl-os-win.conf complains about the tag containing two entries on lines 148 and 160. That's the only clue I have. Worked fine before I updated steam.
I can't fix it, steam replaces the file every time.

Any way to roll back one or two builds?

The crash seems related to your sound system. Are you running pulseaudio on this machine?

Jjhall39 2016-05-11 github

No, I'm not. It runs alsa. I've had to use a ld preload command to load a newer alsa driver than steam uses to get the sound working before. But I had to use a bash script to run that and this error happens when I run it direct

Okay, I'm going to eat some crow. I didn't think I had pulseaudio, only alsa. Apparently I do have pulseaudio and it is the source of all my pain. Seems like for some reason the module-alsa-source decided to stop working on me. It claimed the hw interface wasn't valid. Because of this, pulseaudio refused to start. I had to comment that out from my /etc/pulse/default.pa file and then edit the settings with pavucontrol instead. Suddenly it works. Even the sound works the first time. I used to have a lot of issues with the sound coming out of the onboard audio instead of the HDMI audio. Oddly, this problem didn't affect audio anywhere else on my system.

Nothing extracted yet.
