Hello @MoofMonkey, does sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 want to add mesa without trying to remove nvidia-340?
Hello @MoofMonkey, did you figure out what was happening here? Looking over this again, it looks like the nvidia 340.xx is not compatible with libglvnd, which is historically true.
The Steam client doesn't actually care that these packages are installed, just that its given a sane and working OpenGL driver stack (with a 32 bit and 64 bit userspace) and libc, so these packages could be ignored on your system.

To be honest - no, I do not remember what I did, but it worked somehow for sure.
I don't think that I can bring old hardware to test that issue, but if I will - I think I'll write here.
Thanks for the feedback. Closing per the last comment.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam depends on libgl1-mesa-glx:i386, but it removes nvidia-340
Without libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 steam can't launch farther than "Connecting to account"/login form.
