Hello @GRawhideMart, you've failed to actually say what the problem is that you've encountered, but I'm guessing from context that Steam is simply failing to start. The backtrace you've provided strongly points at a video driver issue, as there is nothing related to the Steam client in it. Does any 32 bit OpenGL application like glxinfo32 from ~https://fedora.pkgs.org/30/fedora-i386/glx-utils-8.4.0-3.20181118git1830dcb.fc30.i686.rpm.html work?~ https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/mesa-demos/8.4.0/6.20181118git1830dcb.fc32/i686/ (My guess is that it's a bad idea to install this package system-wide ~due to the release mismatch~, maybe just unpack it as a regular user.)
Hello, thank you for the answer!

Exactly, I'm sorry, you're right I didn't explicitly point out that the problem is that the client does not indeed start. What's even more strange is that a couple of days ago, before I made a fresh install of the OS, it worked.

I'm not being able to run glxinfo32, I'm not sure why, but glxinfo works. I don't think it's any help, but I leave you the output of that and of glxinfo | grep '32' here
Thanks, that tells us something is wrong with your video driver install and 32 bit userspace support. glxinfo works because its exercising the 64 bit opengl render path.
Thank you.
Keeping in mind that I followed step-by-step this guide, is there any packet you advice to install?
I have a GTX560, so I downloaded the patched version of 390.132
Hello @GRawhideMart, did you manage to figure out what was going on here? Unfortunately, there's not much more I can suggest with regards to legacy NVIDIA drivers on Fedora.
Closing as a system config issue.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I installed nVidia drivers with a little kernel patch which I found explained on if-not-false-than-true.com; the drivers work, but Steam just won't work.
Here the traceback I get from the debugger
