Well if i enter steam in big picture mode and browse the web, if i trigger the right click menu for an item, or i hover the mouse over something that triggers a pop-up, everything freezes, most of the times. Maybe it's related to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7741 since for solving this i need to either

1 force reboot or
2 press the super key, wait a few seconds till i'm back to the gnome activities screen then force quit steam, cause re-entering steam will result in another freeze. Oh and by the way, if i do that while the night light feature is enabled, the light night is gone

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open steam in big picture
  2. Open the web browser
  3. Trigger the right click menu or over on something that triggers a pop-up
  4. See everything freezing
