Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I opened Steam just like normal, on the dash. It came up with the Updating Steam, Verifying Installation window. Then less than a second, it closed. Nothing else happened. I tried opening Steam in the terminal by typing "steam", excluding quotation marks, and it gave me this in the terminal.

I've tried re installing Steam, running "steam --reset", reinstalling Debian, trying it on a different distro, Pop!_OS. Still the same error.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Use either Debian or Pop!_OS to open Steam, on a fresh install

Side note: I tried re installing libgtk2.0, and it installed a lot more packages that libgtk2.0 preinstalled had. And then, the same thing happened, but a new error.

I tried this on Fedora version 41, and the same error as https://gist.github.com/GenPop-Games/857008482ccdf19484f926f1aba6d88b happened
