Big Picture Mode (BPM) on Linux Mint has been transparent in the beta recently. I opted out of the Beta and the old version was working again. Since the latest release the problem also occurs in the non Beta channel version of Steam BPM. This is completely unusable. I have changed to several other Vvidia drivers 525, 515, 510 and 470 with no change. Only when disabling Nvidia drivers does it show up normally but that is no option for games.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Start Steam
2. Start Big Picture Mode

Expected Behavior:

Using Big Picture Mode

Actual Behavior:

Big Picture Mode is unusable.

Things I have tried:

• Changing Nvidia Driver versions
• Enabling and Disabling GPU accelerated rendering in web views
• Enabling and Disabling hardware video decoding
• Opting in and out of the Beta channel
• Re-installing Steam
• Replacing the Mint Repository version of Steam with the official Download
• Replacing the Mint Repository version of Steam with the Flatpack version
• Deleting the ./steam folder in home

Workaround:

Edited /usr/share/applications/Steam with the modifier -oldbigpicture (will eventually be removed by Valve, so not a fix)
