Steam crashing after "Verifying installation..."
I just installed Bazzite on my desktop (nvidia 4080 gpu) and am trying to launch Steam for the first time. Using the Steam icon the little GUI bar opens saying "Verifying installation" and then immediately closes. How can I get Steam to launch?
In the terminal I ran
