[gentoo-user] Steam.

[Alan Grimes]

I haven't been able to run steam on my machine for about 2 weeks now. No
idea what the cause is, reported to Valve's Github page. Current symptom
is that window opens but driving thread stalls out or ??? and UI
freezes, needs to be closed from console. First symptoms appeared after
a game crash and were not cured by a cold boot.

I'm assuming you're using the package from the steam-meta repository.
Do you get the same result using the flatpak? In other words, is the
problem account-specific or package specific?

Alternatively, try moving (renaming) ~/.local/share/Steam and then
starting the client. That should let it start "fresh".
