Steam doesn't work. Bug or something else?

General system Applications

I installed Steam using “sudo pacman -S steam”, also enabled multilib on pacman.conf. When I click on Steam icon from Start menu, it shows runtime update then nothing. Checked on System Monitor, Steam process status shows NA.
If I run type steam on terminal it returns “Steam client’s requirements are satisfied”
But if I reboot and type “steam” on Terminal and press Enter, Steam opens up, all GUI loads up. Is it a bug or something else I did wrong ??

Why I’ve to load Steam from Terminal ? Why can’t I click on desktop icon to run Steam.
Anyways I’m gonna try the flatpack version of Steam.

If you click the icon, does it work now?

What command is the desktop icon calling?

Maybe you can edit that command to the one that’s working in the terminal.

Try steam-native-runtime that is the version I have always used in arch based distros that has worked best for me.
