Steam Isn't Launching

There’s plenty of time for Steam Games, though, right?
Just point and click.


An issue was mentioned in the Stable Update 2023-07-10 announcement. This is clearly over a year old; if your system has been sufficiently maintained it shouldn’t be relevant after all this time.

However, as this is the only noted issue I can find that was due to acknowledged bug(s), I’ll add the content here for reference:

A while ago the Steam Runtime developer maintaining the library detection/promotion “greatly encouraged” that the Steam package would (opt)depends on lib32-libnm and friends. The bugs have been opened since alas

In the absence of an updated steam package with updated dependencies,
A workaround is to install lib32-libnm

sudo pacman -Syu lib32-libnm

Otherwise, all I can suggest is:


Good luck.
