I'm his current linux tech translator. Btw I'm trying to personally help and having negative luck. I also believe we have partal internet access for some odd reason. That may be part of the problem.

Steam is offline. You need to figure out what is wrong with your network connection. Can you browse the web? If you can't, does changing DNS settings in Firefox make a difference?

Try opening the terminal and use the command ujust fix-reset-steam it will clear all the steam files and re-install it (while leaving games intact). If it doesn't work you might still get a better error message.

Something is wrong with your internet somehow

yes yea we tried mobile teathering with a cable and that worked. so the thing is its just wifi thats and issue and this a fresh install of bazzite. also turning on secure boot knocks off the wifi. if it helps he is using a gseires dell desktop. i had him reset the wifi drivers.
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
sudo nmcli connection reload
sudo systemctl disable iwd.service
sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager.service
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
sudo nmcli connection reload
sudo systemctl disable iwd.service
sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager.service
using these commands. these did not help./ only some of the internet is working i was able to get him to ping google.

Maybe try a different DNS service in your Wifi settings, I typically use 1.1.1.1 for the cloudflare DNS server or 8.8.8.8 for the Google one.

That's great news. Glad that you managed to solve it. Sometimes the issue is just a hardware one
