Steam doesn't launch anymore. It doesn't output any logs besides
/home/zed/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 154: VERSION_ID: unbound variable /home/zed/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 154: VERSION_ID: unbound variable Running Steam on arch 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
When the workaround from #3851 is used, it only outputs
Running Steam on Linux 4.15.15-1-ARCH 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
I'm using the latest proprietary Nvidia drivers and steam-native-runtime (same output on steam-runtime and steam-native)

Most likely from the running nvidia kernel module and the userspace library not matching versions. Closing.

Nothing extracted yet.
