From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

According to the archlinux wiki:
“If you are trying to run a native game using Proton but get a Steam compatibility tool error immediately after starting the game, you might have to reinstall the runtime.

So the weird thing is that this issue was happening as soon as I opened the Steam client. I wasn't even trying to launch a game.
But in any case, what I did was I installed the
steam-native-runtimepackage, uninstalled it, and now the regularsteamclient doesn't show that error anymore. I'm not quite sure what made it work.However, it seems like I have a new issue. When I start the client, the Store page is completely black, and stays that way until I click on some other tab, and then I click back to the Store tab, upon which the Store page does load.
