Thank you! That worked perfectly! Finally a solution...
EDIT: it worked 2 or 3 times, then it did not work anymore. It's a f*****g nightmare....
EDIT2: now it works again. It seems like my Nvidia drivers screwed and i had to reinstall them.

Hi StazzLad.
Steam for Linux seems to have a little issue that prevents the client from showing all the content (store, library etc...), giving just a huge black screen.
The workaround for this issue is to launch Steam from a terminal, using a couple of "arguments".
So, you have to open a terminal, and type:
steam -no-cef-sandbox -cef-single-process
This way, Steam should open and show everything without any issue.
I hope i've been clear enough.
Same issue on Arch, and those args don't solve it.
One other possible cause I've seen for this is that /dev/shm is too small, which causes Chromium to not work.
For whatever reason, it was only a couple kilobytes on my system. That was way too small, and increasing it to 4G solved it for me.
Maybe that's your issue as well, @redthing1?

Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
The issue is pretty much the same as #8420 and #8451, i start Steam and i can't see anything inside any of the menus (store, library, profile etc...) except for a black screen. Big picture mode works regularly.
I also tried using -no-cef-sandbox, but it doesn't change.
Log without -no-cef-sandbox
Log with -no-cef-sandbox
Steps for reproducing this issue:
As you see, i've already opted for beta and downloaded the latest update. I'm using the standard deb version of Steam, no flatpak.
Thanks for your help.
