I get the same behavior and error. Worked fine yesterday.

I should say, I am running ubuntu 20.04.

I was able to revive Steam by running steam --reset.
Not ideal since it resets all shader caches and Proton settings but at least Steam works again (for now).

Steam goes right back to crashing after it finished downloading all shader caches.
