Steam completely borked on 21.2 (lemmy.world)

I installed on release day and have been fiddling ever since. I’ve tried both the native package and flatpak. Usually on a new install I can get it to launch once, and any subsequent launch opens the “verifying steam” dialog for a split second before it vanishes. Clicking steam after that does nothing.

Anyone else experience this? Any fixes? I’m sick of being disappointed by other distros, and I’d rather not switch back to nobara or pop.

Honestly I think the redesign was a great step, steam looks and feels fantastic when it’s working well. But this is how Linux goes when you’re dealing with anything non-free / proprietary. I could likely use Lutris with my steam library and save a little headache, but, I like steam and wanna stay there.
