I removed the pre-installed version of steam for some reasons. But that used to run just fine. Now I installed steam-manjaro from pamac and tried to run it, it gives the error in the title.
The log:

I’ve already set my IPV6 to ignore according to another solution but I don’t know how to change the DNS of my wifi and my other distro(Garuda) and even Manjaro earlier ran Steam just fine without these hacks. Any ideas?
Thanks!
steam-manjaro is what you removed and installed. This is Steam, from Manjaro repositories.
Could try steam --reset from terminal (it will empty some Steam folders but keep your games and all) if you want to clean the Steam folder and have it reinitialize itself.
But your issue seems to be a connection issue.
To change the DNS you go to the Network Manager application, click on your connection, and set the DNS servers here after setting the IPV4 connection to Automatic (address only). Need to reboot for changes to take effect, or restart the service I guess, but reboot for the sake of it.
Maybe there is an issue locally on your side of the network, some routing issue on your ISP, or above, I don’t know, it should work if you didn’t modify the default KDE regarding networking.
Unlikely as my Garuda KDE on the same machine runs Steam just fine.
All the network settings were in front of you. I did have firewalld running, I disabled it using systemctl disable firewalld. Nada. Other than that, this is stock.
To me something is blocking your Steam to access internet but I can’t help more. Try to review everything you know on your system you added (like firewalld, this is not default) and that could interfere with Steam itself.
The arch wiki has some common solutions for this particular steam error that can be tried.
Check if the components mentioned are installed and install them when missing. I vaguely remember installing a bunch of lib32 and related packages to get steam to cooperate nicely.
He’s using the WIFI card, as you can see on his screenshots he did not use the wired or the other wireless connection since long time.
//EDIT: @W1sE look at your Pacman log and check what you removed when you removed Steam, maybe you can find a packaged that you removed but that didn’t reinstall with Steam. Also as mentioned by Hanzel maybe have a look at the wiki for troubleshooting Steam (to compare
I have lib32-systemd nss-mdns lib32-glu lib32-dbus but I don’t have lib32-libcurl-compat lib32-nss).
