Steam will no longer open the library window for me but will only run in the background. Sometimes the library window will pop up repeatedly and show a loading symbol before disappearing again. This also will sometimes cause firefox to crash in the background, especially soon after startup
The typical solutions of reinstalling steam and running sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall
have not worked.
Edit #1:
The problem has now evolved. After reinstalling steam yet again (while deleting the .steam folder again) I was able to get both steam and firefox to run at the same time, I thought this was a great success as it seemed steam was again stable. However at this point I could not open any steam games as they would fail to open due to not detecting any valid graphic devices.
At this point I reinstalled the nvidia drivers with doflicky and then tried to launch the games again. I thought this solved the issue as my games would now run no problem, however as I tried to launch firefox alongside them I found that firefox would not open due to graphics related issues.
So now my computer is in a state where it can either run a game OR run firefox, but it is not capable of doing both at the same time. This happened only after applying the most recent updates this afternoon. I have no clue how to approach this issue.
Edit #2:
After doing absolutely nothing and letting my computer sit for the past 6 hours the problem has been entirely resolved. I have no clue what has changed but I am happy to have things working as normal again.
Edit #3:
The error has again returned.
