I tried installing steam from both the site and running sudo apt install steam. It seems that sudo apt install steam doesn't give that much information but here is a screenshot. Anyway to fix this? https://imgur.com/FPnlwDp

Hello @Adenis890, please verify any 32 bit opengl application like glxinfo from mesa-utils:i386 works.

This reads like you're missing the 32 bit userspace support for the nvidia proprietary driver which for you can be checked with something like apt policy libnvidia-gl-435:i386 and installed with sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-435:i386.
