I've also tried steam with Flatpak, it's the same results.
Hello @lowlux, if you completely close Steam, then run steam from a terminal, are there any hints in the terminal spew? Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.
[Game] shut off the CPU fan
Steam and all games run from it are always run as a regular user. They shouldn't ever have the ability to directly affect a system cooling system beyond using system resources like any other application.
Your title does not match the symptoms you have described. "Down" is general read as failing to start or unable to login to Steam's servers. Please rephrase the issue report title.

In general, we're tracking issues with games run with Proton in the Proton issue tracker.
Proton has a long history of being finicky when used with NTFS partitions. Your symptoms match this behavior.
The general recommendation is to use a Linux native filesystem with Proton. That said you could give some of the workarounds mentioned in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows a try.
Closing as not a Steam client issue.
proton 7.0x1 2023-02
Steam is down on all Kubuntu systems, Kubuntu 22.04 and Kubuntu 22.10.
Clicking "PLAY" any game results in noting, no errors, no noting. the play button turns green.
This is with different protons and different games, and i've deleted all the games and started over, same results
Rust would pull up a blank window and shut off the CPU fan and make a nasty noise, but it's also now doing the green play button on the fresh install
I've installed a fresh kubuntu and with different drivers it's the same result,
I have a NVIDIA 3080 12 core AMD
RUST and every game i have was playable 36 hours ago, and have since been unplayable
Seems steam released a nasty update.
