Hello @Arszilla, sorry, but Kali Linux is not supported here because it's contradictory to the fundamental goals of the distribution, which focuses on security testing and is not intended to be used as a general purpose desktop environment.

I am well aware. But the funny situation is that I have the same ISO deployed on my Dell XPS which uses 3050 ti (whereas my desktop has 1070), and the Dell does not suffer from this issue. I have spent the past few days trying to figure out the differences between the instances (besides the hardware, obviously), but can't figure out why one has a x-terminal-emulator popping up when steam is launched, while the other doesn't.
Regardless of the distro, Kali is a Debian based distro. The differences (correct me if I am wrong) is the difference in kernels and how they handle packages/updates. In my case, both laptops are identical, using the same version of Steam, Linux Kernel, nvidia-settings etc.
Nothing extracted yet.
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam will not properly start up on my desktop unless I kill the
zuttyi.e.x-terminal-emulatorwindow that pops up when I try to launch Steam (whether it be withrofior via terminal).Upon killing the terminal, Steam starts up properly: https://gist.github.com/Arszilla/a44253fb0d87fc590473b91d42262014
Steps for reproducing this issue:
dpkg --add-architecture i386thensudo apt updatenvidiadrivers as per the documentation: https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/.debviasudo apt install ./steam_latest.debAnd yes, I am well aware of the jokes surrounding my distro of choice. I am a penetration tester and I am testing some stuff with Steam and Proton, hence me installing on my OS.
