Steam client version: unable to access but I always update when possible.
Distribution: Linux Mint 20.2 (Cinnamon 5.0, linux-firmware 1.187, Linux kernel 5.4 & Ubuntu 20.04 package base)
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes, always up-to-date.

I have the NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (4 monitors)
Since steam won't start, the nvidia driver 470 was released as update so I was thinking it would fix it but no.

And nothing, like I didn't asked to start. I already did reboots.

As you can see here is a segfault.

I think it stopped working after July 13 or 14. The release of the Linux Mint 20.2 was July 8, 2021 and I didn't restarted the computer right after, like I should 👎

Just in case, more informations:

I am able to run glxinfo 32 bits & 64 bits (asked to test by @kisak-valve in another issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7890#issuecomment-870892890)

Like I don't really know what to do now, I try to bring more informations. Like I said, i have the 470 nvidia driver now and maybe it changed something so here is the list of files edited the 2021-07-12 (even if the creation date is set to 07-21) in the folder:
ls /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu: [https://pastebin.com/fGcz4ep4]

I'm seeing very similar behavior on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 server minimal installation; I anticipated that it might be a requirement somewhere that I hadn't met, but I'll attach my logs and stuff as well, in case it's helpful, while I troubleshoot.
