The newest nvidia drivers do not play nicely with steams new UI, steam launches but coredumps and only the applet shows up.
This appears to be a regression because when downgrading to the 530 drivers steam UI launches and works just fine.
Using Archlinux with a 5800x and a 3080.
Can confirm and reproduce this issue. Valve also has an open issue, see link below. I’m running Nobara (Fedora), but also had issues on Void Linux (with X11).

CPU: AMD 5600X

DRIVER VERSION: nvidia-driver-3:535.54.03-1.fc37.x86_64
Other issues of noticed:
Monitor flickering black at top with dual monitors, especially running at high refresh rates (over 59hz)
Seems to be some rare race condition or something then i guess?
im on 535.54.03 with RTX 3080 and Steam works without any issues for me.
have 2 1440p monitors with 165hz and 144hz and dont have any black flickering either

This is tracked as NVIDIA bug 4158137. As I commented in different places, so far it doesn’t seem like a NVIDIA driver bug - CEF is hitting an assert after failing to allocate memory.
But, there’s a different assertion failure in the steamwebhelper process, investigation in progress.
