Steam failing to launch in Debian 12
So, ive tried updating, ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling steam. I have enabled and installed flatpak and it seems i can download and install the flatpak version but it crashes without any response. I tried the debian version and i get an error when i try to install it. Ive also tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling. Im fairly new to linux coming from windows and i cant find a working solution. Im able to completely reinstall debian, but i dont want to do that if i can help it. Any help is appreciated, im still learning.

Can you open steam from terminal and then you can post the error message here
Sometimes the 'downloading new version' box doesn't show up.

Look in the system monitor or ps -al. If steam is listed, it's probably just downloading an update in the background.
