Hello @LucesEnBabel, does any 32 bit opengl application work like glxinfo from mesa-utils:i386?
@kisak-valve glxinfo output https://gist.github.com/LucesEnBabel/aa4cde16fdb64f8ca7769d4c04699946
Since glxinfo is trying to use swrast, which is mesa's slower software renderer, that indicates that mesa's libGL.so.1 is being used and 32 bit opengl is misconfigured or incomplete on your system. Steam needs a working 32 bit opengl stack.
How can I run the first run script again?
First run script of what? The closest thing Steam would have is steam --reset, which re-bootstraps the client as if it's the first run or make sure steam is not running, move ~/.steam and ~/.local/share/Steam somewhere out of the way and re-run steam.
It should be noted that it's a waste of time to try those until after you've confirmed that the 32 bit OpenGL driver is in a working state.
I'm talking about the dependency setup when Steam runs for the first time in the distro, where it install the i386 dependencies of (mesa?) and other libraries. I want to try reinstalling them.
For Debian and derivatives, that would be something like sudo apt purge steam (and maybe also steam-launcher), then re-install the package with whatever method you used before.

At this point that doesn't even matter if glxinfo is showing https://gist.github.com/LucesEnBabel/aa4cde16fdb64f8ca7769d4c04699946 as that shows that you don't even have 3D accelerated drivers setup with your hardware. 3D acceleration has to be working on its own first before most games will work.
As an example, here is my glxinfo on my really ancient old video card:

Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
I double checked my installation, and apparently nvidia-390 fails to correctly set up a proper 32 bit environment.
Fixed it by running find -L /etc/ld.so.conf.d -type f | xargs grep -i nvidia. Steam runs correctly now.
Please mark this issue as invalid.
Closing per the last comment.
Nothing extracted yet.
Steam fails to start after running it with open drivers, then switching to proprietary drivers. Steam successfully installs and runs if you installed proprietary drivers beforehand.
Purging Steam and deleting its directories and then reinstalling had no effect.
