From time to time the "Steam library folders" are deleted from the program and I have to add them again. I use Arch Linux.

Make sure the libraries don't disappear. And it happens randomly, I haven't noticed any pattern. And it's very annoying to add them again every time, because I have several of them.

Happens a lot to me recently.

So far I've noticed a pattern, happened after i press power button when a game is running, seems like steam doesn't close itself properly ? and this most likely causes it to remove libraries.

Running KDE.

edit:
My settings in kde:

Power Management->Energy Saving:

[x] Button events Handling
- When power button pressed: Shut down

Startup and Shutdown -> Desktop Session:

Default leave option: Turn off computer
When logging in: Start with an empty session
