Hi, I’m trying to get steam to work on my freshly installed desktop with RTX 3060.
First, I followed this guide: How to Install Nvidia Drivers on Fedora | phoenixNAP KB installing the drivers using the official NVIDIA installer. I’ve managed to launch steam, but not any games.
(After being unable to login to forums for some reason) I went to the Fedora Discord server where they recommended to use the RPM fusion guide here: Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion
I have followed that and now steam won’t even launch properly. I’m dumbfounded and don’t know how to proceed. I’m attaching some logs below.
