Which steam client did you install? Flatpak? Rpmfusion?

from terra repository

Use RPM Fusion.

same issue

The first line of your log says
“running steam on prismlinux”

Are you using prism, which is an Arch derivative?

Line 9 says
'/home/rain/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam

You seem to have a very unusual combination.

Maybe it’s this “PrismLinux Fedora-Edition”?

It’s difficult to tell whether the various customisations in there might have an impact.

It would be interesting to know whether anyone running “stock” Fedora Rawhide reproduces the issue.

That bit is normal Matt - concur about Prism though - I’ve never heard of it poersonally.
