Have you tried starting steam from the terminal? It may present more information.

Providing logs would help to see the issue, you can get the Steam client log if you start it from a terminal.

You can reboot, and try to delete these two cache folders ~/.cache/nvidia and ~/.nv and start Steam to try then.

rm -R ~/.cache/nvidia
rm -R ~/.nv

If it works it probably the issue my friend had a couple of days ago because of these cache folders containing “GLThreads” cache.

//EDIT: if Steam is set to auto start with the computer, then make sure first to kill it from the terminal

steam -exitsteam
