Steam UI does not open. Happened today when updating to Linux 6.3.8-arch1-1. Error from console window is as follows:

setup.sh[949]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!

Steam has been installed with Nvidia drivers

Hello @MGadhvi, this was previously evaluated at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9600#issuecomment-1593272815. Your distro is providing you a broken combination of NVIDIA driver packages.

Closing as not a Steam client bug.
