Hi, i am quite new to linux and fedora. Some weeks ago I installed fedora 40 on my desktop, I also installed steam (from rpmfusion) and it worked flawlessly for several weeks. Yesterday steam stopped working for me.
When I start it, the client shows up with the valve symbol and the rotating blue circle - but the circle doesn’t stop rotating and the client will not proceed.
I don’t believe that I changed something (I didn’t install updates before the bug occurred). But I installed some updates since them, but they didn’t help…
What can I do ?
Here the output when I start steam via terminal:
dapeta@fedora:~$ steam
