Steam freezes after quitting a game
Hi Everyone,
Bazzite runs almost flawlessly on my desktop PC, but I keep running into a strange bug (?) where Steam will freeze after I quit playing a game. The icon still appears for me in my system tray (I'm in GNOME, so in the area at the top right of the screen) and I can still click on that icon to see various options (recently played games, Store, Library, Community, etc.). But if I try to bring up my library or go to the store, nothing happens. The only thing I can do is exit Steam... and then restart it, at which point everything works as intended.
Here are my system stats:

Hardware Information:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600X × 12
- **Graphics:** AMD Radeon™ RX 6750 XT
- Firmware Version: H.C0 (MSI Pro B550M-VC Wifi MB)
- OS Name: Bazzite 41 (FROM Fedora Silverblue)
- OS Build: Stable (F41.20250301)
- OS Type: 64-bit
- GNOME Version: 47
- Windowing System: Wayland
- Kernel Version: Linux 6.13.5-102.bazzite.fc41.x86_64
- I have Steam start when I boot my computer up. But if I run Steam from the terminal instead (so close it, then run it from a terminal with 'steam'), this problem doesn't seem to happen as consistently.
- This doesn't happen consistently. If I play for just a few minutes and then quit out of a game, Steam runs as normal.
- I've noticed that I get a message about my Caffeine Timer being disabled upon exiting these games. No idea if there's a connection, but I do know there's an option to enable Caffeine for any full screen app. Relevant?
- Elden Ring, Stellaris, and Monster Hunter Rise are the games I've been playing recently, all at full screen. I've tried borderless full screen too, same outcome.
