did you look at this thread? Steam UI won't launch

I believe i have the simiilar issue but i dont know how to do the solution?

I had the same issue. I believe it was an issue with the nvidia 535.54.03 driver. The 535.86.05 driver that was just released fixes the issue for me.

Try the flatpak version, it runs flawlessly and as it is a proprietary piece of software it’s containerized and you don’t have to deal with 32-bit libraries as for me some were causing this same issue since the redesign.
